Hello!
I have a problem encoding the chess table in Slovene Wikipedia: http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uporabnik:Romanm/%C5%A0ahovska_deska The upper-right version is twice-templated and subject to my question since it is not working, the lower version does not use main template and is there only for comparision.
The idea is to have [[Template:Chess_Position]] and use it like follows:
{{Chess_Position|white=white |black=lightgray |a1= ... other initialisations |h8= |h8=template for black knight |g7=template for black king |f7=template for white pawn |e5=template for white king |h4=template for white queen}}
I was using direct unicode characters instead of chess-piece templates, but Internet Explorer users complained that they cannot see the characters and they appeared in background color in Mozilla (*), so I switched to templates that should display picture on the background.
But this does not work! Any hints where did I go wrong?
