Book Layout
All books will have an Template:Item containing the title colored yellow, sprite, commerce value, and id. A section titled 'Contents' will contain the actual contents of the book, and will be formatted using {{ quote | <poem>{{#invoke: ColorParse | parse |(your text here)}}</poem>)) for each "page".
