Description
As the name suggests, this template produces a colored box, which is used when you want to give an example on a page. You can use common wiki-formatting (e.g. bold, links) if you wish. The formatting of this template is kept subtle on purpose, so as not to interfere too much with the general flow of a page (if you want a stronger emphasis for your text, you can use {{Note box}} or even {{Important note box}}).
Dependencies
Uses
{{Color box}}
Syntax
Parameters
content
The note text inside the box. All 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.
