Template:Ivory messagebox

From Encyc
{{{1}}}
To leave an Ivmbox message with no icon:
  • {{Ivmbox|Text to display in messagebox}}

To use this template with an icon, use:

  • {{Ivmbox|Text to display|Ambox notice.svg}}


The basic use of the template is as follows. If the message you wish to convey using Ivmbox contains complex wiki-code or equals signs, it may be necessary to use |1=Lorem ipsum [etc…] instead of merely |Lorem ipsum [etc…]:

{{Ivmbox|Lorem ipsum [etc…]}} which gives: Template:Ivmbox

The template can display an image to the left of the text content. By default, the image will be 25px in width:

{{Ivmbox|Lorem ipsum [etc…]|Ambox notice.svg}} Template:Ivmbox

The image can be made smaller or larger using the |imagesize= parameter:

{{Ivmbox|Lorem ipsum [etc…]|Ambox notice.svg|imagesize=40px}} Template:Ivmbox

Advanced use[edit]

By default, if an icon is used with Ivmbox, the icon will not be clickable (in , |link= will be declared but empty). If you wished, for example, clicking the image to lead to List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, you would include the following parameter:

|image link=List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom

The image, by default, also has no caption; in a similar style, the caption can be declared by including the following parameter:

|image caption=Lorem ipsum

The background of an Ivmbox is the off-white X11 colour ivory. If you like the functionality of Ivmbox but require it to display with a background other than the off-white ivory it uses by default, simply include the parameter |bg=; for example:

|bg=salmon for a salmon message box
|bg=#90EE90 for a #90EE90 (light green) message box.
