Plugin Box

This Wiki Plugin creates a box with a title bar. Optionally, you can add title text, a background color, and/or a width (specified in pixels or a percentage of the available window space). The title bar is formatted using the CSS style used for module headings, so the box will look consistent no matter which theme is chosen.

To place a simple box around text , you can use the ^ tag, as explained in Wiki-Syntax Text.

Usage

Below is an example of the syntax:

{BOX([title=>title],[bg=>color],[width=>num[%]])}
 Text inside box
{BOX}
