Usage

General usage layout is:

{{mbox
|type= [warning|caution|info|step|centos|ubuntu]
|msg= Text in this area will be used for a title message, font size is 20px
|text= Text in this area will be treated like normal wiki text (MOST normal formatting should work but will be contained inside the border, note | may not work properly).
 This also allows for multiple lines.
|image= [image file name| none]
|caption= This will provide a small area for an image caption.
|version= Useful if you are specifying a specific version of an operating system, will display below the icon.
|style= Additional style information after the defaults are set. This should allow you to override the default settings.
|size= [normal|small|tiny]
}}

Example

{{mbox
|type=caution
|image=Centos_icon.png

 example formatting
|caption=CentOS5
|version=5.x
|style=border: 4px dotted green
}}

More information about the message

example formatting

Pipes in message box

Pipes '|' in message boxes

The template structure automatically will read |'s as being part of the template and will likely break the rest of the message.

To get around this there are a few things you can do.

• Use the template:! template if you need the | to display on the screen.

{{!}}

• Use HTML code if you are trying to create a table.

Nesting

The text field will allow for nesting of message boxes

This can make for some interesting message boxes
