How it works: This castlist uses the concept of nesting tables (a table inside a table, much like Russian nesting dolls!). It's a heck of a lot easier to edit this way, because you're moving each character around as one large chunk, rather than lots of different cells. It concisely provides the following useful tidbits for each character:
- Character Name
- An icon that visually represents the character, as well as links to the icon page for the character
- Character Journal
- Link to threads played
- Link to a profile, character sheet, application, etc.
- Text listing of PB
- Any sort of group definition (i.e. Year: Sixth, Affiliations: OotP, Power: Invisibility, Alias: Iceman, etc)
Instructions for use:
- Start your table with the following code:
- Start every row with the following code:
- For every character, use the following code:
- Finish each row (I suggest four characters per row, though three or five might also work depending on your cast/monitor size) with the following code:
- Finish your table with the following code:
- Optional: If you'd like some sort of title/header, paste this in it's own row:
- Optional: If you have blank cells and you'd like to fill them with something, try this:
- Obviously, the colors can be changed. For easy reference, the dark blue is #3D768F, the light blue is #B8CCE0, and the pale grey is #EBE9E0. Be sure to replace all mentions of a color.
