Template:Portal

This template is part of a set of templates designed to streamline the portals look and feel.

Usage

The basic usage is

{{Portal}}

<div style="margin: 10px">

{{Portal Header|Icon=Icon.jpg|Box Content=
Main Intro
}}

Other content 

</div>
|}

As you can see there is the need of a DIV element to put some margin, and a "|}" to close the table at the end of the block.

Explaination

But let's explain what each row does.

{{Portal}}

Includes the portal navigation template (Template:Portalsnav) and opens the table that provides the base background colour (usually the darker one)

<div style="margin: 10px">

Adds some padding in a safe way, I could have tried to do it inside this template but mediawiki closes the div right after the end of the template. In other words, it's quick and dirty, but it works.

{{Portal Header|Icon=Icon.jpg|Box Content=
Main Intro
}}

Calls the main header template (Template:Portal Header) to display the introduction of the Portal along with an icon (resized to 100px wide), Box Content holds the content of the introduction box, usually a relevant quote in Race Portals.

Other content

The other boxes, the simplest way to add boxes or headings with no boxes is to use Template:Portal Box Template:Portal Heading.

</div>
|}

Closure of the 'safe padding' and the coloured container, again it's quick and dirty, but it works.

Real-life example

{{Portal}}

 <div style="margin: 10px">

 {{Portal Header|Icon=Icon.jpg|Box Content=

 '''''Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

 Mauris sit amet lorem et nulla lobortis pulvinar.

 '''--Drunken dude'''</p>
