Text icons and markups (Civ5)

This page is a part of the Civ5 Modding Tutorials.

The following markups can be used anytime a text is displayed by the civ5 UI, including mods description. They can be used both in XML or Lua.

Example

Hello user. Are you?[NEWLINE]
[ICON_BULLET][COLOR_POSITIVE_TEXT]Good?[ENDCOLOR].
[ICON_BULLET][COLOR_NEGATIVE_TEXT]Evil?[ENDCOLOR].

Formatting markups

[NEWLINE] inserts a line break.
[TAB] inserts a tabulation.
[SPACE] inserts a white space (useful at the beginning of a line in XML).
[LINK] inserts a link. Example: [LINK=IMPROVEMENT_TRADING_POST]The trading post[/LINK]
[T] doesn't seem to work.

Icons markups

The table below lists the icons markups. There is no ending markup, just insert one of those in your text to have it substituted with the corresponding icon. All icons are defined in the IconFontMapping and are 22 pixels high and wide.
