Usage

The template works by using two variables the first indicates the direction of the gradient top, left, right or bottom and the second specifies the colors.

{{Lgradient| direction |color 0%, intermediate colors, color 100%}}

Only the first and last colors need to be specified but any other colors can be added in between with a percent to indicate when they stop. The template works on FireFox and Chrome 10+ and should work on Saf5.1+, IE10, Opera 11.10+ although I haven't tested it in those browsers I got some of the code used off a reputable site that hasn't been wrong yet.

Examples

<div style="{{Lgradient|top|#000000,#F7F2E6}} padding:40px"> </div>

<span style="{{Lgradient|top|#000000,#F7F2E6}} padding:40px"> Lots of text text text </span> Watch when using <span> tags because the background will cover up elements too close to it.

Like it did here

Lots of text text text

<div style="{{Lgradient|left|#000000,#FFCC00 25%,#0000FF 50%,#CC0000 75%, #000000}} padding:40px"> </div>

<div style="{{Lgradient|left top|#000000,#FFCC00 25%,#0000FF 50%,#CC0000 75%, #000000}} padding:100px"> </div> This one needs more space to be noticable than the standard width I've been using.
