Template:Important note box

An important note.

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Description

This template creates a text box for important content or warnings, to avoid it getting lost in the flow of an article. Keep in mind that large number of these templates can make a page look cluttered, so use them judiciously.

Dependencies

Uses

{{Color box}}

Syntax

{{Important note box|< content >|<width= percentage>|<italics= no>}}

Parameters

content

The note text inside the box. By default, this text is rendered in italics, but all other wiki-formatting (bold, text color, links, etc) work as normal. If the text you would like to use include an equals sign (=), you need to explicitly declare your text as a numbered parameter (i.e. put 1= before your text), otherwise the template will display nothing.

width

Sets the width of the box. It's recommended to set this as a percentage (of the paragraph width), so 50% will produce a text box half as wide as the surrounding paragraph. If omitted, the text box will be as wide as the surrounding paragraph. When width is set to less than 100%, the box will be centered.

italics

Add the parameter italics= no to the template to render the text as non-italic (i.e. normal text). Use this parameter if you would like to have more control over the text formatting (for instance, if you would like to use italics selectively in your note). In most cases, you can omit this parameter.
