The Pyramid Love font installed on the Icehouse Wiki allows any user to place full-color pyramids into any page using only text. To do this, you must use the template set up specifically for it.

Simply place your text within double brackets and type a name, color, and size.

General-rules example:

{{PL|:nickname|color|size}}


Actual real-world example:

{{PL|::MPN|red|3em}} = ::MPN
  • DP: The template designation
  • ::MPN The nickname for the icon, in this case a Medium Pointing North
  • red: The color you want the icon to be. (This can also be entered in hex color codes like #ff00e0)
  • 3em: How big you want the icon to be


Bare bones example:

{{PL|::MPN}} = ::MPN


  • DP: The template designation
  • ::MPN The nickname for the icon, in this case a Medium Pointing North
  • No color specified, so the pyramid will default to black
  • No size specified, so the pyramid size will default to 1em



Size specified but not color example:

{{PL|::MPN||3em}} = ::MPN
  • Because of the way the template is set up, the name, color, and size must be in order.
  • This means that when you want to specify a size but not a color, you need to leave a blank pipe where the color would be.
  • If you forget to leave a blank pipe and you instead type this: {{PL|::MPN|3em}}, the Wiki will interpret your desired color as "3em" and not know what that color is, so it will default to black instead. And since it expects a size last and won't see one, it will default to size 1em. So remember to put in that extra pipe to designate size without color.

Names

Each symbol that it's possible to display with the Pyramid Love font has a particular name that you need to put after one or two colons. The names are pretty easy to guess once you know the basic rules. For lone pyramids, the first letter will always be L, M, or S for a Large, Medium, or Small pyramids. The next next letter will be P for Pointing. The third letter will say which way the pyramid should point, often North, South, Eeast, or West.
Here are four large pyramids pointing in different directions.

::LPN ::LPE ::LPS ::LPW
{{PL|::LPN|black|3em}} {{PL|::LPE|black|3em}} {{PL|::LPS|black|3em}} {{PL|::LPW|black|3em}}

Here are four different-sized pyramids pointing in different directions.

::SPN ::MPE ::LPS ::SPW
{{PL|::SPN|black|3em}} {{PL|::MPE|black|3em}} {{PL|::LPS|black|3em}} {{PL|::SPW|black|3em}}
