Template:Shading PVI

style="background-color:#DCDCDC" | +

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

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.
