Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)
- Description
- Produces a centered, colored box, which is used to present an example on a page.
- Dependencies
-
- Uses
- {{Color box}}
- Syntax
- {{Example|<content>|<width= width>}}
- Parameters
-
- content
- The example text inside the box. The box has "
An example!" as the default text. If the text includes an equals sign (=), the text needs to be explicitly declared as a numbered parameter (i.e. put1=before the text), otherwise the template will display the default text. - 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. The default width is set at 95%. When width is set to less than100%, the box will be centered.
- Examples
| {{Example|An example to ''illustrate'' my article with a link to the [[Venture]].}} |
| {{Example|How not to put the formula 2+2=4 into an example.}} |
| {{Example|1= How to put the formula 2+2=4 into an example.}} |
