Template:List box
| {{{1}}} |
[edit] Usage
For placing a list or any other text in a separate section to the right. No border is used (but an optional border argument could be added later when the appropriate parser are enabled).
specify width and the text to be used. Each argument should start on a separate line so that line breaks are allowed.[verification needed]
Specify:
- width (in "em" or approximate character-widths) as the first argument,
- the text to display as the second argument.
Example:
{{list box
|'''Tasks'''
* pick best articles
* put them in portal
* have a drink
}}
creates this box to the right:
Tasks
|
Based on {{text box}}.
Note that the template may extend into the following section. To prevent this, you can add {{break clear}} to the bottom of the current section, which puts all content below the previous content regardless of floating/wrapping.
[edit] Coding notes
This version attempted to use width as a parameter, but width parameter seemed to break the style code. In {{notice}} it works - but with named parameters (not sure if that's why it works, but want to keep it simple here, and avoid named parameters.)
