Template:Box

Template:Box is used to create formatted text boxes.

Usage

It accepts one mandatory string parameter and one optional string parameter.

• 1 is the name of the article and the header for the text box.
• 2, if supplied, is the contents of the text box. If not supplied, the contents is transcluded from a subpage of the article, using the header as the subpage name. It also uses Template:Edit to adds a link to directly edit the subpage.

It also accepts two optional named parameters:

• width accepts Xpx or X%, and controls the width of the box. If undefined, the box has 10% margins left and right.
• float accepts left, right, or clear.
  • If left or right, the box is floated to the selected side of the screen and the margins and padding are setup coorespondingly.
  • If clear, the box is arranged clear of all content, above and below.
• color (default: blue) controls the color of the background. The valid options are:

red

green

blue

yellow

purple

cyan

gray

white

No examples are included for float, as they don't appear correctly inside Template:Return.
