Template:Chset-cell4/doc


Note

edit

This template replaces Template:chset-cell and is an enhancement of Template:chset-cell3, additionally displaying the code point in octal.

Usage

edit

Used with Template:chset-tableformat to indicate a printable character table cell.

  • Parameter 1: hhhh, Hexadecimal Unicode value, 4 digits (e.g., 0041)
  • Parameter 2: X, Displayable character with link to appropriate article (e.g., [[A]]); defaults to "&#xhhhh;" using the value of parameter 1
  • Parameter 3: dd, Decimal character code, 1–3 digits (e.g., 65)
  • Parameter 4: ooo, Octal character code, 3 digits (e.g., 101)

For example, the first four ASCII digit characters "0" through "3" (Unicode U+0030 through U+0033, decimal 48 through 51, octal 060 through 063) are coded as rows in a character set table like this:

{|
|{{chset-color-digit}}|{{chset-cell4|0030|[[0 (number)|0]]|48|060}}
|{{chset-color-digit}}|{{chset-cell4|0031|[[1 (number)|1]]|49|061}}
|{{chset-color-digit}}|{{chset-cell4|0032|[[2 (number)|2]]|50|062}}
|{{chset-color-digit}}|{{chset-cell4|0033|[[3 (number)|3]]|51|063}}
|}

Which yields:

0
0030
48
060
1
0031
49
061
2
0032
50
062
3
0033
51
063

Character cell colors

edit

For generating colours for cells by Unicode category, this script may be helpful.

Certain colours are in the process of being phased out:

  • Template:chset-color-ext-punct — Extended punctuation character cell color. Intended to represent non-ASCII punctuation, this is not a category used by Unicode (and there are no corresponding ext-digit, ext-graph etc). Currently renders the same as punct.

In addition to these, boxed and slightly shaded variants of these exist in order to indicate some kind of additional information (depending on the article) like, for example, a derivation from a base codepage, a variance of definition of the corresponding codepage in different sources (to be explained in the article) or in different revisions of a code page:

and

Please note that the boxed variants must not be used, if a cell, which is not to be marked, is surrounded by four cells, which need to be marked, as this would make the central cell appear marked as well. The shaded variants do not exhibit this problem.

For as long as there is no need to differentiate one or a few of the cells in a group from the other cells in the same group, refer to the normal (that is, the non-"box"- or "var"-type) templates further above.
