Template:Chset-left/doc

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world


Usage is simple enough, include this at the beginning of a line (i.e. after any |-), giving the line number in hexadecimal (i.e. the higher hex digit in the byte), for example (for the 0x2_ line):

!{{chset-left|2}}

Occasionally there might be a reason to include a second line number for a alternative region of designation, for example in KS X 1001:

!{{chset-left|2|A}}

Character cell colors

[edit source]

For generating colours for cells by Unicode category, this script may be helpful.

Certain colours are in the process of being phased out:

  • Template:chset-color-ext-punct — Extended punctuation character cell color. Intended to represent non-ASCII punctuation, this is not a category used by Unicode (and there are no corresponding ext-digit, ext-graph etc). Currently renders the same as punct.

In addition to these, boxed and slightly shaded variants of these exist in order to indicate some kind of additional information (depending on the article) like, for example, a derivation from a base codepage, a variance of definition of the corresponding codepage in different sources (to be explained in the article) or in different revisions of a code page:

and

Please note that the boxed variants must not be used, if a cell, which is not to be marked, is surrounded by four cells, which need to be marked, as this would make the central cell appear marked as well. The shaded variants do not exhibit this problem.

For as long as there is no need to differentiate one or a few of the cells in a group from the other cells in the same group, refer to the normal (that is, the non-"box"- or "var"-type) templates further above.
