Template:HexRow: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:21, 27 March 2020

Here's an all-ASCII alternative to GIF/PNG snapshots of hex data.

Editable by anyone, "right there", in parallel with related documentation.

Either embedded in the article using it, or in a subpage of the article.

(in that case, transcluded and made directly editable via a header)

(but if one wants to keep the doc in sync, it's not such a good idea)

Usage

The following input :

{|border=1 cellspacing=0
{{HexRow|0x00|
|01|51|02|00|01|00|00|06|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|
|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|
|00|00|00|00|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|
|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|
|Who needs this?°}}
{{HexRow|0x10|
|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|
|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|
|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|
|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|
}}
|}

produces the following output :

There are 66 "actual" arguments; they are not named, but they line up intuitively.

(the extra | at the end of a line is part of a hack)

The first argument is the data's offset (default is 0x00, maybe it should be blank).
The next 16 arguments are the 16 hex bytes.
Then you have the RGB components of every byte's background :
- 16 "red" bytes
- 16 "green" bytes
- 16 "blue" bytes
Finally, you can add an ASCII translation if you so wish.
- Most of the time it's actually irrelevant
- I'd systematically show nonsensical ASCII as ° : it's less distractive.
- If all 16 chars are nonsense, simply omit the last argument (the default value is °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°)
- Same for confirmed garbage in the hex fields : you can fill it with °.

Only the fixed-size font is specified in this template, as well as bold for offset and ASCII.

The rest (cell spacing/padding, border, alignment on page, background color, etc) is set at table level.
