Caption Rules
These rules are concluded from the tests below.
Coloring Caption Text
Caption text can be colored using HTML:
- <font color="red">Oxygen</font>. displays Oxygen.
Colors are usually easier to see in boldface. You can use either HTML or wikitext bold markup:
- HTML: <font color="red"><b>Oxygen</b></font>. displays Oxygen.
- Three single quotes: <font color="red">'''Oxygen'''</font>. displays: Oxygen.
Light colors may be unreadable on a white background, so use a black background. But there seems to be no way to specify a background color in a caption. So you will need to put the color key in the text of the page. For standard color keys, templates are provided: see Help:Color Keys. Proteopedia page text does not support HTML bgcolor, but it supports CSS font color:
- Yellow on white: <font color="yellow"><b>Sulfur</b></font>. displays yellow.
- Yellow on black: <font style="background-color:black;color:yellow;padding: 3px 4px 2px 4px;">Sulfur</font>. displays Sulfur.
Links to Proteopedia Pages
Links to Proteopedia pages, such as 6zgi (in wikitext, [[6zgi]], are NOT supported in captions. Put those links in the page text.
