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}

The square brackets [ ] indicate that the parameter is optional. The commas aren't needed unless you type two or more of the options.

Parameter	Accepted values	Effect	Since
title	text	Text that appears in a one-line title box. Keep it short!. Title bar is formatted using the non-module box heading style defined in the current theme
bg	anglophone color name or a hexadecimal color code, such as #FFFFFF (white)	a background color
width	number or %	width of the box in pixels or, if followed by a percent sign, the width as a percentage of the available window area

float	left or right
class	class name		1.10
id	html id		1.10
