Template:Whitebox is used to create formatted text boxes.

Usage

It accepts one mandatory string parameter and one optional string parameter.

1 is the name of the article and the header for the text box.
2, if supplied, is the contents of the text box. If not supplied, the contents is transcluded from page in the Stub namespace with a name matching the header of the article. It also uses Template:Edit to add a link to directly edit the stub article.

It also accepts two optional named parameters:

width accepts Xpx or X%, and controls the width of the box to a minimum of 300px.
float accepts left, right, or clear.
- If left or right, the box is floated to the selected side of the screen and the margins and padding are setup coorespondingly.
- If clear, the box is arranged clear of all content, above and below.

Return

{{{Whitebox|Lorem Ipsum|{{Lorem Ipsum|2}}}} returns:

Lorem Ipsum

{{Whitebox|Sample}} returns:
