Data type: field

--Overview--

A field is a description of a kind of 'container' to hold a value.

For example the [[type:value]] of a 'text field' is a piece of text, that of a 'color field' a [[type:color]], etc.

Things that are fields are, "card color" and "card name".
Not a particular color or name, but a description of what a card color and a card name are for a particular [[type:game]].

Fields are part of the [[file:style triangle]]:
| Description		Looks			Data
| [[type:Game]]		[[type:Stylesheet]]	[[type:Set]]
| '''Field'''		[[type:Style]]		[[type:Value]]

--Example--
The @title@ field gives the title of a set:
>set field:
>	type: text
>	name: title
>	identifying: true

The border color of cards can be selected from a list of choices, but other values are also possible.
The default is based on a set field. Statistics don't make much sense for the border color.
>card field:
>	type: color
>	name: border color
>	default: set.border_color
>	choice:
>		name: black
>		color: rgb(0,0,0)
>	choice:
>		name: white
>		color: rgb(255,255,255)
>	choice:
>		name: silver
>		color: rgb(128,128,128)
>	choice:
>		name: gold
>		color: rgb(200,180,0)
>	show statistics: false
