==Colors in Styles{{anchor|colors}}==
 
Many styles allow you to directly specify a color value in the format "xxxxxx". The format for the color uses standard HTML color syntax, with each character representing a hexadecimal digit. The first two characters define the Red color value, the next two Green, and the last two Blue. For example, the color "ff0080" specifies a Red value of "ff", a Green value of "00", and a Blue value of "80".
 
For additional details on specifying colors via the HTML syntax, please refer to one of the many websites that provide this information, such as
[http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp].
 
==Scaling of Images{{anchor|scaling}}==
 
When encoded text is supported within a category of portal, you will typically be given control over the scaling of images within the corresponding style. When enabled, image scaling is applied to all bitmaps that are inserted into the encoded text that is rendered into the portal. The scaling ratio is based on the difference between the initial font size for the portal and the current font size at which the text is now being rendered. Scaling is valuable for when you want to ensure that the bitmaps remain proportionally sized relative to the font size of the text, which is important when text and bitmaps are interleaved within the encoded text.

The "portal" Element

Within the hierarchy of visual elements, the individual elements that the user interacts with are portals. There is a wide assortment of different portal types that can be employed for different purposes. Each separate portal is specified through the use of a "portal" element. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

id Id – Specifies the unique id of the portal. This id is used in all references to the portal.
style Id – Specifies the unique id of the style to utilize with this portal. The style must be compatible with the portal type (e.g. a label style must be used with a label portal).
tiptext (Optional) Text – Description information to be shown to the user when the user pauses the mouse over the portal. If empty, nothing is shown. Default: Empty.
isheader (Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether this portal is utilized within a dual-purpose header as part of a table. Default: "no".

NOTE! This attribute is only permitted on portals within templates that serves as dual-purpose headers.
NOTE! Field-based portals may never be designated for use within a header, as there is no pick/thing associated with dual-purpose templates.

showinvalid (Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the text used within the portal should be automatically changed to the built-in "lblwarning" color when the portal references an invalid pick. This behavior only applies to suitable portal types, including labels, incrementers, checkboxes, and menus. Default: "no".
showdisabled (Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the text used within the portal should be automatically changed to the built-in "lbldisable" color when the portal references a pick whose pre-requisites are not satisfied. This behavior only applies to suitable portal types, including labels, incrementers, checkboxes, and menus. Default: "yes".
width (Optional) Integer – Specifies the default width to use for the portal. In general, portal dimensions should only be controlled via the Position script of the containing visual element. If zero, the default auto-sizing behaviors are employed. Default: "0".
height (Optional) Integer – Specifies the default height to use for the portal. In general, portal dimensions should only be controlled via the Position script of the containing visual element. If zero, the default auto-sizing behaviors are employed. Default: "0".

The "portal" element also possesses child elements that define the specifics of the portal. The list of these child elements is below and must appear in the order shown. Click on the link to access the details for each element.

IMPORTANT! With the exception of the "live" and "mouseinfo" elements, exactly one of these child elements may be specified for each portal. If multiple are given, a compiler error will be reported. The chosen child element dictates the type of portal that is being defined and its characteristics. You may include up to one "live" and/or "mouseinfo" elements after the single child element that specifies the portal.

label An optional "label" element may appear as defined by the given link. This element specifies the details of a label portal.

image_literal An optional "image_literal" element may appear as defined by the given link. This element specifies the details of an image portal containing a static image.
image_reference An optional "image_reference" element may appear as defined by the given link. This element specifies the details of an image portal that references a field-based image.

The "live" Element

The "live" element defines a Live Tag Expression for the portal that determines whether the portal is applicable based on the prevailing conditions. In general, portals should be controlled via scripts using the "visible" target reference instead of using this mechanism. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

PCDATA TagExpr – Specifies the code comprising the Live tag expression.

The "mouseinfo" Element

The "mouseinfo" element defines a MouseInfo Script for the portal that synthesizes text for display to the user whenever the user pauses the mouse over the portal. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

PCDATA Script – Specifies the code comprising the MouseInfo script.
