How it is

Note: This is not the general idea if the note has something more to add that is not explainable in one sentence or paragraph, yes ideally notes would be short and concise, but not everyone is capable of explaining themselves in one short sentence and even if they do, the chances are, the person reading it wont get it.--uNiversal 13:06, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

This is how the code looks so far. though replacing text with {{{1}}} doesnt work as expected.

{| width="100%" style="background-color: #ffeaa5; border: 1px solid #ffeaa5; font-size: 100%; clear: both" |
 | valign="top" style="padding: 5px 2px 2px 5px" | '''Note:'''
 | align="left" style="padding: 5px 2px 2px 0px" | This is not the general idea if the note has something more to add that is not explainable in one sentence or paragraph.

how it looks now is how it should look. If the bold text and color background isn't enough, then indenting the text won't do anything and will just look goofy. Most "notes" don't even need a template or special formatting in the first place. Trying to make everything stand out will make nothing stand out. -- Ned Scott 16:28, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
Its not about the background color or making it stand out, its about making it easy to read when text wraps around on larger paragraphs, imo its MUCH easier to read like I suggest it should be, then as it is atm. Otherwise wouldnt bother with this. I find it hard to read for e.g.
I think whats important to keep in mind here is, that not everyone has 20\20 vision. Usability wise it can be improved, tbh the background color is slightly moot, because what about ppl who are color blind?

Ending where the sentance ends?

Because it looks wierd when the note text is taking up 1/3 or 1/2 of the box and it just keeps going. E.g. Settings/System#Video_calibration... Udepub 15:17, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

Actually makes a good break, from all the massive spans of text. Anything that breaks up huge spans is good to give readers a break being that when you reach end of line to right your eyes have to go back to left to start reading continued stuff which notes intentionally add-to and deserve some pause for reflection.}} /me mutters something about accessibility which is ignored a bit. and why I tried to have this template modified as above. and the contents of the sample text as above are very valid view accessibility wise.--uNiversal 15:23, 10 May 2013 (EDT)
