Forum:Creating an inline box

Hi folks How do you make a box that you can use inline? I'm trying to create a template which will give me a box I can use inline in articles, and also combine with other boxes in further templates, which themselves must be useable inline. I started down the route of a one-celled table, but it's riddled with obvious problems, not least of which is that you can't put tables inline as far as I can see, and I'm sure there's a better way just to make a box! Here's what I've got so far, but as you'll see, it looks pretty on its own but doesn't work once transcluded (the first one because the tags aren't closed (necessary for the second one), and the second one because of the inline problem). Can anyone point me in the right direction? Box template itself: w:c:discworldmud:Template:Magic Template using series of boxes combined: w:c:discworldmud:Template:SkillsMiscellaneous
