Making new divbox styles

@@ Line 160: / Line 160: @@

You'll see the box code in all its gory detail, and the placeholder DUMMYCONTENT, followed by the HTML division closing tag. Now, you may simply '''replace''' DUMMYCONTENT with '''your content''', save, and move on. Since almost anything may be placed within division tags, this should not break no matter what you do.

	* {{[[template:tfd\|tfd]]}}
	* {{[[template:GFDL\|GFDL]]}}
	* {{[[template:current\|current]]}}
