Template:Divbox/doc

This template can be used to create simple, flexible coloured text background.

Please note that this is intended to be a decorative template and not for use on the general encyclopedia: alternatives should be used for common tasks such as information panels ({{infobox}}), quotations {{quotebox}}) or navigation boxes ({{navbox}}) in articles, while in other namespaces decoration should usually be avoided. This template will automatically add inappropriate uses to category:articles using divbox template for cleanup.

• The color names are case-dependent; they will not work if upper-case letters are used.
• plain, double, tt and none inherit the page background colour whilst white forces a pure white background.
