 * I usually use  tags. For a blue box with a red border which contains the word "text" in green, use the code:

Text!! ...which makes:

Text!!

That's how you make a basic box, if you want some more complex code just describe exactly what you're imagining. 05:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can also just use tables

 * Yuck! Please learn some standards! Never use tables for content or layout, their entire point is tabular data. Use divs for boxes and spans for inline.WiltedChameleon


 * Due to various issues (mostly alignment and proper positioning) I would advise against using div blocks on wikis, when not necessary. Especially since the table wiki-markup is pretty straightforward to learn. The predominate web development trend to switch from tables to div blocks doesn't really apply to wiki editing, it's all personal preference here. — Sovq 17:13, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
