Template:SkyrimBox/Start

Summary

This template is used to display a box in Skyrim style.

Parameters

SkyrimBox

Parameter	Scope	Description
1 or text	required for simple form	The content to display inside the box. For more complex content such as tables, use {{SkyrimBox/Start}} and {{SkyrimBox/End}} around the text you wish to display and do not include this parameter. Will display Lorem Ipsum... if left blank.
2 or width	optional	The width of the box (e.g., 400px). Defaults to fit the width of the text.
3 or text-color	optional	The text's color. Defaults to white.
main-color	optional	The main color of the image. Defaults to #0D0904 (brownish-black).

Limitations

{{SkyrimBox}} can not handle wiki-formatting (such as ==Headers==) on the very first line of text, nor can it handle wikitables. To do either of those, just use {{SkyrimBox/Start}} and {{SkyrimBox/End}}. The parameters for those are listed above.

You can display formatted text and images. All HTML tags that work elsewhere on the wiki work, including <center> tags and HTML tables.

Examples

Fixed Width, Custom Font Color

{{SkyrimBox|The more I use destruction magic, the better it gets!|400px|lightgreen}}

The more I use destruction magic, the better it gets!

Wikitable

SkyrimBox is very picky when it comes to wikitables. For them, you have to use {{SkyrimBox/Start}} and {{SkyrimBox/End}}. Additionally, if the table has a weird space surrounding it you have to add style="margin:0px;" to the wikitable, as shown below:

{{SkyrimBox/Start}}
{| class=wikitable style="margin:0px;"
! A Header !! Another Header
|-
|colspan=2| A double-wide cell
|}
{{SkyrimBox/End}}

A Header	Another Header
A double-wide cell

Custom Main Color

{{SkyrimBox|main-color=#FBEFD5|text-color=inherit|text=This is a test}}

This is a test

main-color=transparent causes a small visual glitch with this template. Use main-color=#FBEFD5 to match the page background color of the Cologne Blue, Monobook, and Vector skins.
