This template was copied off MediaWiki's sandbox. The following link overviews the template usage: [1]
It's been tweaked a bit to rid it of:
- a defunct parser function 'ifeq'; due to missing/disabled required scripting language (at the time of editing the template); and
- calling another template; i.e., Linear-gradient, which in turn invokes a defunct parser function 'switch'.
The text styling parameter this 'ifeq' controls can still be passed via another available parameter; namely, 'style'. With the latter, one or more additional CSS properties and values can be passed, separated by semicolons, as well as must end with one (e.g. style=font-weight:bold;text-align:center;). Please, note that the double quotation marks are deliberately left out -- they should not be used in this style parameter.
The parameters this tweaked templates accepts are:
- text: Button text;
- padTB: Top and Bottom padding (a number along with the unit);
- padLR: Left and Right padding (a number along with the unit);
- bgcolor: Button background colour; usually, in hexadecimal format, or any that accepted in inline styling;
- fgcolor: Button text font colour; and
- style: Any additional inline styling properties along with their values.
On the other hand, the following parameters have been dropped with this initial version of the template:
- bgcolor1, bgcolor2: Button background gradient colours. Originally, they were passed to another template, Linear-gradient. Because it's omitted now, these colours are now hard-coded with the default ones: #FCFCFC and #E0E0E0, respectively.
- format: It was a toggle to render the button text in bold face. Instead, please use the style parameter as indicated earlier.
