Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Overhead/doc. [edit] [history] [purge]

This template can be used to display chat and dialogue text the way it would appear above players and NPCs. The internal Near-Reality functions that generate this type of text are "say" and "npcsay". For game messages, use Template:Mes.

Usage

Note: 'color' may be spelled without the 'u' as this is how it appears in CSS styling.

{{overhead|text|color=optional colour}}

Additional parameters

{{overhead|text|color=optional colour|bg=background colour|shadow=no|size=font size}}

Example

{{overhead|The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.}}

Produces: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

{{overhead|The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.|color=red}}

Produces: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

To change the font size, the parameter size=<value> can be used:

{{overhead|The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.|color=red|size=15}}

Produces: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

To remove the shadow, the parameter shadow=no can be used:

{{overhead|The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.|color=red|shadow=no}}

To change background colour, use bg=colour. This is best combined with no shadow:
