Template:Mbox

Lightweight message box (maybe notice box) to implement top-off page warnings needed on some pages. It allows some color flags/styling to distinguish boxes from each other, but primarily only offers a title and body text.

Usage

This box should be used within message-specific templates (e.g. Template:Class template) which parse their own inputs into the display fields of the message box.

Plain boxes can be called with {{mbox}} while providing text and an optional title—they will auto-size to the width of their contents, and wrap text at full width. They can include markup and full wiki-text (including transcluding other templates).

{{mbox|text=Sample message text in a plain box.}}

Sample message text in a plain box.

{{mbox|title=Sample ''styled'' title|text=<p>A plain box with a title and '''some markup''' in the text and other templates like {{Ink chip|Light Teal}} or [[links]]. A bunch of extra text has been added to this section to show the text-wrapping within the box. The <code><p/></code> tags are included to make sure the ink chip displayed uses its small size.</p>}}

Styling

The main differentiation provided is in a wide color bar on the left side of the box, which can be set with color_bar. Both the background and border styles can be set, as well as a CSS class for the box or custom style. The max-width is provided at 80%, but can be set with max_width.
