Template:Shading PVI
style="background-color:#DCDCDC" | +
 | This template should not be substituted. |
This template automatically shades the table cell containing PVI data with the default party shading colors, autocalculates sort values for the given PVI value, and shows it in the form X+n format, where X is the party, and n is the degree of lean.
- For autocalculating the PVI value, and showing it in the form X+n format, without shading the table cell, use Template:PVI instead.
Usage
[edit]Copy and paste the template below:
{{Shading PVI|<!-- Party name -->|<!-- Value -->}}
- NOTE:Additional table formatting such as rowspan= should be written just before this template, without any bar "|" (see #Using rowspan= subsection below). The style= tags however do not work (see #Unacceptable syntax subsection below).
For better understanding see Examples & TemplateData below.
