This template emulates the appearance of a Discord chat message. It is heavily used in List of DevTalk daily message skits.
Usage
{{chat
| name = <!-- A string, or a shortcut (see below); the name of the user sending the message -->
| message = <!-- A string; message content. Multiple messages in a row can be separated using <br />-->
| image = <!-- Profile picture. Enter as File:x.png without [[ ]]. -->
| color = <!-- Optional: Color to apply to the name. Default black -->
| size = <!-- Optional: Adjust the size of the message text. Use l, L, large, s, S, or small -->
}}
Shortcuts are supported for the DevTalk mascots. When name is one of these values, image and color will be automatically populated. Shortened versions of the mascots' names entered for the name field will also be replaced by the full name (ex. P becomes Plum).
PlumorPfor Plum.LemonorLefor Lemon.CherryorCfor Cherry.LimeorLifor Lime.PDfor the dogboy version of Plum.StellaorSfor Stella
If name and/or message are unspecified, the first and second unlabeled parameters (respectively) will be used instead. This allows quicker use, especially if combined with shortcuts. For example:
{{chat|P|This is a message!}}
will produce:
Plum
When adding emoji, image files may be inserted directly within the message field.
For example: [[File:PainLemon.png|25px|alt="Pain Lemon emoji"]]
The following sizes are recommended to emulate Discord behavior:
- 50px for one to three emoji with no text in the same line
- 25px for emoji with text on one or both sides, or for a series of four or more emoji
- 18px for emoji in a message with
size = smallor equivalent
