Template:Redact2

# # # # # # # #

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Rationale

This template is designed for representing sections of blocked-out ("redacted") text. It is similar to the {{redact}} template but has more options, wraps like normal text, and degrades gracefully in color-free or non-CSS situations.

Advantages

• Bar color and/or bar outline color can be specified
• Bar can wrap across multiple lines; no running off the right side of the window or page
• Provides a textual representation (# # # # #) for HTML clients without CSS or color capability

Disadvantages

• Unit of measure for bar extent is not precisely defined, so some trial and error may be required in layout
• Bar extent has an upper limit (although this can be adjusted in the template code)

Examples

 {{redact2}}
 {{redact2|12}}
 {{redact2|color=red}}
 {{redact2|32|color=white|bordercolor=black}}

Parameters

• first, unnamed parameter = size, in units slightly less than 1 em (default: 8; sizes greater than 400 are truncated)
• color = bar color (default: black)
• bordercolor = bar outline color (default: none)
