Execution
{{TLevent
|event= Describe your event.
|width= Width in em or percent, or pixels. (Can be static or dynamic. pick!)
|color= in "plain english", #FFF hex, or #123ABC hex.
}}
Sample
This one time, in band camp... I used the color white
Caveats
- After you place the last event in the timeline, be sure to put
|}at the end to close off the table. - The width should be specified as being either pixels (px), em or percent (%). Your preference should be to use fixed values to prevent problems with browser width scaling problems. 500 - 600 px seems to be a pretty good choice for the new skin.
- Use
<br/>after your table to push the wiki text down so it won't overlap. - The following tags can be used:
<big></big><small></small>- Wiki-style headings using "="s can be used, but they must be formatted like such:
<h3></h3>,<h2></h2>, etc.
- See Template:Timeline/Sample#Test_with_various_functions for a continuing test of what wiki functions may be (safely!) used with this template.
