Inserts a Hero's Diary graphic very similar to the real thing.

Parameters

Unnamed parameter, or

text

Required. The diary entry. Include the time before it. You can see the default text above. If you want another diary entry after it, to place the next one on the line below separate each diary entry with a <br /> as this is the code for a line break.

width

Optional. The width may be set to a standard CSS length (in 'px', 'em', or other supported units), or it can be set to one of the standard sizes on the hero main page (on desktop). Setting |width= to any of the keywords main, central, center, or centre will set it to the default width of the central column on desktop; setting it to the keyword side will set the default width of the side columns on desktop. The default behaviour is to automatically size the diary box to the contents, but with a minimum width that matches the quest boxes from {{Diaryquest}}. It is better to leave it as default in most cases (i.e omitting this parameter, or leaving it blank) unless you need extra width for some reason.

title

Optional. This is the title text. The default is 'Hero's Diary' (the same as the real thing).

title-size

Optional. This is the size of the title text in em unit. It is recommanded to keep the default size which is 1em.

collapsed

Optional. Set this parameter to yes or any yes-like (y, true, 1, etc) value to make the diary collapsed when page opens.

style

Optional. If this parameter is omitted or set to default, the template will use a modern style which closely resembles the current Godville web interface. (That same style can be explicitly selected by setting the parameter to superhero.) The previous default style is available by specifying |style=hero.

Other available styles are retro, sunny, emerald, violet, divine, hint and custom. See the table below for examples of each of these styles.

custom style parameters

Optionals. The 6 parameters below are exclusively used for the custom style.

borderColor

Color of the border. (Default: #CCCCCC)

shadowColor

Color of the shadow around the border. (Default: #CFCA7A)

titleColor1

First color used in title's gradient. (Default: #F6F8F9)

titleColor2

Second color used in title's gradient. (Default: #E7E7E7)

bgColor1

First color used in text-background's gradient. (Default: #F7F7F7)

bgColor2

Second color used in text-background's gradient. (Default: #F9F9F9)

css

Optional. Allows advanced users to insert inline CSS into the enclosing <div>...</div> element if needed.
