Template:Example
Documentation
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 (eg 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}}
).
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 example text), otherwise the template will display nothing.
