Usage[change source]
{{Colour key|Colour code|Description}}
{{Colour key|Colour code|Description|Colour name}}
The colour code is forwarded to the CSS property border-left-color. Standard (named) web colours, such as red, should preferably be used to aid clarity. It is also permitted, however, to use any other valid CSS code, e.g. #FF0000, #F00 or rgb(100%, 0%, 0%).
The optional parameter, "colour name" is shown as a tooltip as well as in printed and pdf views and is intended inter alia for colour blind users.
