This page is part of Wikibooks Trainz Wikibook Administration.
• It lists a template which may be useful editing Trainz. Trainz specific (special purpose) templates will be found in or under Category:Trainz Templates, which also lists/links to this Help page.

Purpose

Creates a standardized HTML quote bounded style string with options that can be overridden locally. It is in effect, a poor-man's CSS class element, but one which one does not need ADMIN privileges to edit.

The format created by this style replicates a wikimarkup line with a leading whitespace character,
like these two lines.

It's usual and intended use is in long-tables, mainly those showing examples of Trainz data structures, or sample config.txt files.
This template provides compatible formatting to duplicate the appearance of the monospace tables the N3V staff used when building pages for Kinds, containers and so forth.
Using this template to set the style allows a wikitable to neaten up the staffs ragged efforts, and make things more readable with uniform sized columns, alternative fonts, embedding links, and so forth.

usage

This template is meant to be used in an HTML style tag after the < '...' > so as to form HTML format commands like:

{| style= {{Pseudo-table}} and forms the pre-quoted string above. The raw code has over-ride parameters B,BG,CO,MW,W,P,M

Over ride parameters shown below

 "padding: {{{P|1em}}}; border: {{{B|1px dashed rgb(47, 111, 171)}}};
 color: {{{CO|black}}};
 background:{{{BG|rgb(249, 249, 249)}}};
 max-width:{{{MW|{{{maxwidth|68%}}}}}};
     width:{{{W|{{{width|68%}}}}}};
 align:{{{AL|left}}}; 
 font-face:{{{F|monospace}}};
 font-size:{{{S|10pt}}}; {{{other|}}};"

The default width is shown above, but the template call can be given an alternative width as follows:

form the call: {| style={{pseudo-table|width=XX%}} versus the default {| style={{pseudo-table}}

The format also provides for other format parameters to be included in the style block by defining the parameter 'other'.
- for example: |other=color:blue; would assert the table contents as a blue font. Other HTML/CSS formatting elements are equally valid.
