Syntax

There are two unnamed parameters that can be used. The first parameter declares the type of color (based on element or other identifier determined beforehand or plain hex code), and the second parameter is used to display the text.

If the second parameter is missing, the first parameter will be displayed.

Use the link parameter to set a link for the text to link to. Set as 1 to use text as link.
