Usage

These usage notes will not be included in articles bearing this template.

This is a formatting template used primarily to color code e-mail correspondence. Generally, e-mails from Chris are colored blue using Template:Quotebox. E-mails from the other party are colored red using Template:Quoteboxred. In the event that a third party is involved in the correspondence, e-mails from that person are colored green using Template: Quoteboxgreen. When using this template in an article, it is good practice to state in the article what the color represents. For example: "E-mails from Clyde Cash are in red."

The format for using this template is as follows:

{{quoteboxred|Dear Chris, 
Please stop touching me. You are gross.

--A Gal-Pal}}
{{quotebox|PLEASE do Not "Friend-Zone" me; it makes me feel SOO much Stress.

Stay Safe,

Christian Weston Chandler}}

{{quoteboxred|It's over Chris.  
Leave me alone. I'm in love with one of the trolls now. Stop calling me.}}

{{quoteboxgreen|Hey, Chris, 
It sure is awesome having sex with your Gal-Pal! Thanks for being a total loser so she'd dump your ass and have sex with me!

Your friend,

A troll}}

{{quotebox|You Trollin' Stupid TROLL!  

I pray to God and Jesus that you DIE!

Stay Safe,

Christian Weston Chandler}}

- Displays:

Customizability

Outside of using the standard colored quotebox templates, parameters may be added onto this default template to customize the colors of its background, border, and text. The writer of a message can also be added on for transcriptions of chats.

The format for using this template is as follows:

{{quotebox
|speaker = Blue
|time = 12:00 AM
|background = #CEDAF2	
|border = #A3ACBF
|color = white
|Da-ba-de Da-ba-di}}

Blue 12:00 AM

Da-ba-de Da-ba-di

{{quotebox/sandbox
|speaker = Blue
|time = 03‑Jul‑2021 12:00 AM
|background = #CEDAF2	
|border = #A3ACBF
|color = white
|Lol}}

Blue 03‑Jul‑2021 12:00 AM

Lol

Note: Always use the non-breaking hyphen character ‑, U+2011, coded by ‑ or ‑. Using regular hyphens can result in line breaks. Likewise, always use   for spaces, as regular spaces can also result in line breaks.

Default Parameters

• speaker - The person who wrote the message can be indicated through this. Default: Blank
• time - The time the message was sent can be indicated through this. Default: Blank
• background - Background colour of the quotebox. Default: "#E6F2FF"
• border - Colour for the quotebox border. Default: "#A3B1BF"
• color - Text color for the quotebox text. Default: black (It's highly recommended just to use "black" or "white" for this parameter.)

Note that you can use sRGB (rgb(255, 0, 0)), Hex triplet (#FF0000), or the name of the color (red) when entering colors in the template. The third method is discouraged, however.
