EXAMPLE

1. First Item
2. Second Item
3. And so on

• Or with bullet points
• Like this
• And so on

Bullet points (with *) or numbering (with "#") can be used in the text:

{{chalkboard | EXAMPLE |
#First Item
#Second Item
#And so on
*Or with [[goat|bullet]] points
*Like this
*And so on
}}

By default the chalkboard appears on the right. If you want it on the left, add the position like this:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | position = left}}

The default chalkboard width is 250px. To make it wider or narrower, you can add the width:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | width = 300px}}

If you want the chalkboard to have a maximum height (a scroll bar will appear when it fills up), set it like this:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | height = 500px}}

The default text size is 100%, but it can be adjusted to get larger or smaller text:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | text = 90%}}

The default background color is #101010 which is an RGB hexadecimal color of very dark gray, but it can be adjusted to any color, either with an RGB number, or common color names:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | background = navy}}

Similarly, the text color can be changed (with the "color" parameter) from the default (white), but remember that links within the chalkboard will still be green and yellow:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | color = #FFCCCC}}

The default border color is 663300 which is an RGB hexadecimal color that is brownish, but it can be adjusted to any color:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | bcolor = #556677}}

The default frame is ridhe which gives the illusion that their is a frame around the blackboard, but it can be adjusted to inset, solid, or any other HTML border, like this:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | frame = inset}}

The default border is 7px wide, but it can be set:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | bwidth = 10px}}

Any or all of these parameters can be used together. For example:

{{chalkboard | TITLE | insert text here | position = left | width = 300px | height = 500px | background = maroon | bcolor = gray | color = #FFFF99 | text = 90%}}
