started documentation page on colored text and icons

New page

== Main Templates==
The main templates to generate {{Fire|colored}} {{Ice|text}} and Icons like {{Wind|icon}} are

* [[:Template:Earth]]
* [[:Template:Water]]
* [[:Template:Wind]]
* [[:Template:Fire]]
* [[:Template:Ice]]
* [[:Template:Lightning]]
* [[:Template:Light]]
* [[:Template:Dark]]

They all function in exactly the same way and output certain premade texts (Crystal, Cluster, Element, ...) as colored links. See any of these templates for a documentation of their use.

==Skillchains==

[[:Template:Property]] takes the input of the name of a skillchain and outputs a link in the colors of the elements, which make up the skillchain, e.g.:

{{Property|Liquefaction}}, {{Property|Gravitation}}, {{Property|Darkness}}, ...

This template uses [[:Template:Color]] to color the letters in the respective elements' colors.

==Basic Templates==

[[:Template:Color]] is the basic template which outputs colored text. It is used to generate the main templates described on this page. This template uses colors provided by css classes defined in [[Mediawiki:colors.css]]. This ensures, that all elemental colored text have the same color palette across all pages and allows making changes to the color palette which will take effect on all pages.

[[:Template:Colorlink]] is a variation and uses [[:Template:Color]] to output a colored link.

==Outdated Templates==
===Resist Templates===

These templates were used to generate a non-clickable icon of the element, which displays the tooltip "Resist vs. ..." on hover.

* [[:Template:Resist Earth]]
* [[:Template:Resist Water]]
* [[:Template:Resist Wind]]
* [[:Template:Resist Fire]]
* [[:Template:Resist Ice]]
* [[:Template:Resist Lightning]]
* [[:Template:Resist Light]]
* [[:Template:Resist Dark]]

Instead, use the main templates with the argument "resist", e.g. <nowiki>{{Fire|resist}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{Resist Fire}}</nowiki>.

===Template Element===

Used to generate icons with a link to the respective element page.

[[:Template:Element]]

Instead, use the main template with the argument "icon" (for a clickable link to the element's page) or "resist" (for non-clickable and "Resistance vs ..." on hover), e.g. <nowiki>{{Fire|Icon}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{Element|Fire}}</nowiki>.
