The remaining parameters are as follows (in the order that they will appear in the template output):

  • box_width
  • label_width
  • background - the background colour of name parameter, either as a "colour name" (e.g. forestgreen), a hexadecimal value (e.g. #0093cf), or a colour template (e.g. #{{C2C colour}}). If the background is dark, please change the text colour by appending the CSS color selector. (e.g. background = black;color:white or background = #806040;color:#ffffdd ). Note that quotation marks are not permitted in these CSS statements. If |background= is present, but blank, the default is white; but if this parameter is omitted entirely, the default background colour is #eee.
