## Colors
|
|
|
|
Colors are defined via uppercase, two character strings.
|
|
Striped/banded wires can be specified by simply concatenating multiple colors, with no space inbetween, eg. `GNYE` for green-yellow.
|
|
|
|
The following colors are understood:
|
|
|
|
- `BK`  (black)
|
|
- `WH`  (white)
|
|
- `GY`  (grey)
|
|
- `PK`  (pink)
|
|
- `RD`  (red)
|
|
- `OG`  (orange)
|
|
- `YE`  (yellow)
|
|
- `OL`  (olive green)
|
|
- `GN`  (green)
|
|
- `TQ`  (turquoise)
|
|
- `LB`  (light blue)
|
|
- `BU`  (blue)
|
|
- `VT`  (violet)
|
|
- `BN`  (brown)
|
|
- `BG`  (beige)
|
|
- `IV`  (ivory)
|
|
- `SL`  (slate)
|
|
- `CU`  (copper)
|
|
- `SN`  (tin)
|
|
- `SR`  (silver)
|
|
- `GD`  (gold)
|
|

## Cable color codes
|
|
|
|
Supported color codes:
|
|
|
|
- `DIN` for [DIN 47100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_47100)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
- `IEC` for [IEC 62](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code#Color_band_system) ("ROY G BIV")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
- `TEL` and `TELALT` for [25-pair color code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code#Color_band_system)
|
|
- `T568A` and `T568B` for [TIA/EIA-568](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIA/EIA-568#Wiring) (e.g. Ethernet)
|
|
- `BW` for alternating black and white
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Multiline strings
|
|
|
|
Connectors accept multiline strings in the `type`, `subtype` and `notes` attributes.
|
|
Cables accept multiline strings in the `type` and `notes` attributes.
|
|
|
|
### Method 1
|
|
|
|
By using `|`, every following indented line is treated as a new line.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
attribute: |
|
|
This is line 1.
|
|
This is line 2.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Method 2
|
|
|
|
By using double quoted strings, `\n` within the string is converted to a new line.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
attribute: "This is line 1.\nThis is line 2."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Plain (no quotes) or single quoted strings do not convert `\n`.
|
