Ùsaid - Usage

This module colors each letter depending on which one it is the first parameter/the function is "letter", if it is "blank" it does produce colors, but converts the letters to non-breaking spaces.

{{#invoke:ColorAlphabet|letter|foo bar baz}}

produces

foo bar baz

.

{{#invoke:ColorAlphabet|blank|foo bar baz}}

produces

           

.

}}


 ---- This module is supposed to apply Green-Armytage's standard for a "color alphabet" to letters in a string of input text.
 ---- {{#invoke:ColorAlphabet|blank|whatever}} for blank, 
 ---- {{#invoke:ColorAlphabet|letter|whatever}} for colored letters
