Template:Border2/doc

Usage

This specialized template creates a box to display text or combined text/images in; it creates a border around whatever you would like. Each property has a default so you do not need to define the setting if what you want is already the default.

You can embed other templates within this one (e.g. {{rule}} or {{sc}} or even another {{border2}}). However, some embedded templates that contain parameters, and things like tables, may cause this template to not work properly. In that case, use {{border2/s}} and {{border2/e}} instead.

Parameters

• 1: whatever goes in the box
• position: alignment of the box

• Options: left, center, right; default: center

• compact: whether the box should take only the width needed (if yes) or use the full page width (if no)

• Options: yes, no; default: yes

• class: additional CSS classes
• style: additional CSS styles
• attr: additional attributes for the box

• Example: attr=id{{=}}"border-id"
• Example: in another template based on this one, attr={{optional style|...}}

Double Border

There are two ways to make a double border. One is to use the standard "double border" feature of CSS. It is simple and only requires that border-style be set to double and border-width be set to a value greater than 1px. Here is what this will look like:

Example: Standard double border

{{border2|style=border:double 2px; text-align:center;|
[[File:Philadelphia blackletter.svg|125px|link=|alt=Philadelphia:]]

{{Mc}}CARTY & DAVIS, No. 171, MARKET STREET.
{{rule|3em}}
1834.
}}

{{border2|style=border:double 8px; text-align:center;|
[[File:Philadelphia blackletter.svg|125px|link=|alt=Philadelphia:]]

{{Mc}}CARTY & DAVIS, No. 171, MARKET STREET.
{{rule|3em}}
1834.
}}

{{rule|3em}}

However, for more control, you may wish to use a border within another border:

Example: Creative/controllable

{{border2|style=border:2px solid darkred; background:#fff; color:darkcyan;|
{{border2|style=border:5px dotted currentcolor; background:#FFEFD5; text-align:center;|
[[File:Philadelphia blackletter.svg|125px|link=|alt=Philadelphia:]]

{{Mc}}CARTY & DAVIS, No. 171, MARKET STREET.
{{rule|3em}}
1834.
}}
}}
