Usage

edit

The syntax for the four-player chess diagram is as follows: 

{{4pc diagram
| <header> (param #1)
| <alignment> (#2)
| size = 
| numbers = 
| letters = 
|  |  |  |<d14>|<e14>|...|<k14>|  |  |  | (#3 to ...)
|  |  |  |<d13>|<e13>|...|<k13>|  |  |  |
|  |  |  |<d12>|<e12>|...|<k12>|  |  |  |
|<a11>|<b11>|...|<n11>|
...
|<a4>|<b4>|...|<n4>|
|  |  |  |<d3>|<e3>|...|<k2>|  |  |  |
|  |  |  |<d2>|<e2>|...|<k2>|  |  |  |
|  |  |  |<d1>|<e1>|...|<k1>|  |  |  | (... #198)
| <footer> (#199)
}}

Parameters:

  • <header> — The text which appears above the diagram. (Optional.)
  • <alignment> — Defines horizontal alignment (floating) of the whole table. Options are: tright or tleft (or nothing).
  • size — Defines the size of the squares in pixels. (Default: 25px. Use 20px minimum.)
  • numbers — Specifies whether the rank numbers are displayed or not. Options are: left, right, both (default) or neither.
  • letters — Specifies whether the file letters are displayed or not. Options are: top, bottom, both (default) or neither.
  • <d1>, <e1>, ... <k14> — Define corresponding squares of the chessboard. (See below.)
  • <footer> — The text which appears beneath the diagram. (Optional.)

The occupancy of a square is defined by the piece identifier or an empty parameter (two spaces are recommended). The piece identifiers consist of a lowercase letter for the colour (r = red, b = blue, y = yellow and g = green) and an uppercase letter for the piece (P = pawn, N = knight, B = bishop, R = rook, Q = queen and K = king).

= rK = bK = yK = gK
= rQ = bQ = yQ = gQ
= rR = bR = yR = gR
= rB = bB = yB = gB
= rN = bN = yN = gN
= rP = bP = yP = gP

Arrows can be used to show movement directions and a cross and circle are available to mark squares.

= ul (up left) = ua (up arrow) = ur (up right)
= la (left arrow) = xx = xo = ra (right arrow)
= dl (down left) = da (down arrow) = dr (down right)
= lr (left right) = ud (up down) = di (diagonal) = ad (anti-diagonal)

For the sake of clarity, it is possible to add the file letters and rank numbers in the source, as in the following example. Any text between "|=" and the next "|" is ignored.
