Text Color Coding
on: January 12, 2006, 07:09:50 am
I'm gonna assume that there will be color-coding of text to define what's canon, non-canon, etc. To make it easier, I want you to list here the various text "categories" and what color they should be. Then I'll translate that into the Wiki CSS, which will mean that instead of using ugly font tags, you'll be able to do something along the lines of:

Code: [Select]
<span class="non-canon">This stuff isn't backed up by Volition at all...</span>
Which will render as:

[q]This stuff isn't backed up by Volition at all...[/q]

I'll suggest a few categories to start you off:

Canon
Non-canon
FS1
ST
FS2
Contradictory

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Personally, I'm against colour coding. Makes things look messy IMO, plus it's hardr to undersatand than a simpler "non-Canon" tag style system (the colours could, I suspect, get confusing quickly,especially with six categories (and therefore, I assume, six colours) just to get started with.

Just do canon, non-canon fan speculation, and perhaps canon-within-campaigns.
