::; border : Sets the border color of the box. The default is set to a shade of {{Co|#888888|gray}}. Colors can be given either by color name<ref>https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp [2021-10-23]</ref> (e.g. {{Co|red|red}} or {{Co|green|green}}) or values<ref>https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp [2021-10-23]</ref> (like {{Co|#0000FF|#FF0000}}).

::; width : Sets the width of the box. It's recommended to set this as a percentage (of the paragraph width), so <code>50%</code> 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 <code>100%</code>, the box will be centered.

::; color : Sets the background color of the box. The default is set to ~~black~~. For valid values see border

::; color : Sets the background color of the box. The default is set to transparent. For valid values see border

::; align : Sets the position of the text within the box. The default is set to left. Values are: left, center, right or justify.

::; text : Sets the text color of the box. The default is set to ~~{{Co|white|white}}~~. For valid values see border.

::; text : Sets the text color of the box. The default is set to inherit. For valid values see border.

::; italics : Set italics= no to override the default of the contents of the box being in italics. Otherwise omit.

; Usage notes

: ~~The background color should be darker than~~ the ~~border. Depending on how light the background color is, either white or black text is easier to read. Given that the default skin~~ for ~~the UniWiki has~~ light ~~text on a~~ dark ~~background, a text box with a light background will stand out much more than one with a darker background (but will also make a page look more cluttered, especially if it is used repeatedly)~~.

: Make sure the colors used work both for light and dark mode.
