With the recent release of the Skinny talk templates (made by TNE), its time for a guide for them! This will be for all types of skinny talk bubbles, plus emotions!
Also, please see TNE's and SSC's talk bubble emotion guides!
The first skinny talkbubbles we'll look at are the Skinny Rays. These are the basic skinny talkbubbles with some added features-extra borders! The coding for one is as follows:
There isn't much difference between the coding for the skinny rays and a similar form of advanced markup (as seen on a users template). The added features is two extra borders and some extra coding in the "top-section=" part.
Reverse Skinny Talkbubbles (that confuse other users at first)
Alright, this is the last type of skinny talkbubbles; its also the one Randomnessity and I use. This is a unique talkbubble since the normal text is on the top while the user information/quotes are on the bottom. Be prepared to see some heads turn/questions from others asking if your talkbubble is okay! ^^; The coding is as follows:
Xion4ever Don't be fooled, Ven! Terra won't fall into darkness. You know that!
Okay so I lost some originality points by using my current talkbubble, oh well. Anyways the coding for the reverse skinny is (in my opinion) the hardest to follow (ESPECIALLY WITH EMOTIONS -_-), since the coding after "text=" is not the usual {{{text}}} many of us are used to. Theres not much difference between the coding for the skinny reverse and regular skinny talkbubbles, except that the "top-section" and "text=" coding is reversed.
Welcome to the wonderful world of coding, brought to you by the skinny talkbubbles! Brace yourself with lots of coding that over the course of hours makes you go insane!, gives your talk template emotions! Be careful with this coding, it is very touchy! One mistake (even if its an extra "<"), and the coding is messed up!
The emotion coding for the skinny rays isn't that hard. Just remember to use the exact coding! Any parts of the coding missing/added will result in failure! But enough of the negativity, on with the coding!
The coding is similar to that of the somewhat advanced markup talkbubbles. The only problems you should/might encounter is during the |topsection= part. Other than that, you should be fine! ^_^
Also, don't forget to include this at the bottom of the page so the templates appear. Since there is three talkbubbles, there will be six }} at the end of the template (two per talkbubble). DON'T FORGET THIS!
This is the normal skinny talkbubble that is oftenly used. If you compare the codes, you'll notice that there isn't much of a difference between the normal skinny talkbubble coding and the TalkTextTest2 coding. This is (in my opinion) the easiest emotion coding from the skinny talkbubbles; especially for those who've used the TTT2 coding before. Again, this will be for three talkbubbles.
Xion4ever Oh ho! So its a fight you want. Very good, I shall take you on!
{{{happy}}}
Xion4ever The memories wiles can be cruel. In its silence we forget. In our obsession, it binds our hearts.
{{{talk}}}
Thats all there is to the normal skinny talkbubble coding. Just remember that for every talkbubble on the template, each talkbubble has two {{ . So four talkbubbles on a template means eight {{ .
We end this guide with the dreaded reverse skinny talkbubbles! This is by far the hardest (in my opinion) emotion coding out of the skinny talkbubbles. I spent four hours trying to make a users template work; true story. But don't worry, after you review the coding and make some test edits, you'll be fine.
The difference in the reverse skinny coding is that the the "top-section" part is where the text (or in coding: {{{text}}}) is, while in the "text" part is all the user information/quotes. The coding may look nasty, but the result is worth it!
Okay, I'm going to again show the emotion coding for three reverse skinny talkbubbles. Before attempting to make your template/talkbubbles please review the coding at least once! This coding is very touchy; a slight mistake and the template is ruined.
Thanks for looking at the guide! ^^ Sorry for the chaos disorganization; I tend to be long winded and dazed. But I digress, any problems with the coding feel free to ask me or TNE on mine or TNE's talkpages! Thanks!
