thread_title:  New box? 

message: We need a category for "box" templates, like this, , and so on.  I'm specifically looking for a simple template to put a box around examples to set them off from the text.  Like you could have a code example and then an example of what that code outputs, with a box around the output to separate it from the text.  Like  would result in:

replies: text: Something is happening outside the template itself, I'm getting the message "Template loop detected: Template:Divbox" on and off like you did, a developer might have to look into it.▪◦▪≡SiREX≡Talk 00:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

text: The template may work fine now, but something funny is still going on. See :Category:Wikipedia formatting templates, there are many articles and subcategories that don't belong there, all transcluding divbox. Maybe the category page was not properly refreshed.

thread_title:  Unbreak it please... 

message: Is there a way that this can be altered to allow multiple paragraphs of text in the body of the message text? So far I have yet to find any of the quote or div box type temples that allow multiple paragraph content in them without having to manually add multiple line breaks which is a very clumsy, and visually awkward work-around (the line spacing of a single line break is too little space, and two line-breaks is way too much space. Any solutions to this would be highly appreciated. Lestatdelc (talk) 23:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Paragraph breaks

message: This template is used in a number of edit notices, and recent changes destroyed that functionality. When I reverted back to version as of 11:15, 17 May 2012, it again worked. I've restored it until that issue can be worked around. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've recoded the 4 editnotice templates that were using it to use  instead. So this change can probably be reimplemented if desired. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:12, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Changes broke edit notices

message: Is there a way that we can use this template in actual articles? I'm looking for some way to create a dividing border between several family trees in a section, and I thought that this template worked pretty well for that . Can someone point me to a similar border template for article space?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 01:25, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Use in article space? 

message: Change |id="" to |title="". An id has to be an unique element on any page, and that would be breached by having more than one box with the same title on a page. The documentation page is a prime example and produces invalid html:
https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTemplate%3ADivbox%2Fdoc&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
I assume the id attribute was added because ancient versions of IE used it to show a tooltip on hover. In 2015 there's no reason why the div should have an id attribute, although a title attribute might provide some of the functionality originally intended.
You might want to consider opening the template up for editing by template-editors. --

message: These edits replace current sub-template system with Template:Divbox/styles.css. I've made the edits in the sandbox. It passes the test cases and some of my own testing. Using Template:Divbox/styles.css is more organized and makes it easier to add a box as .css pages identify errors while editing. – (t@lk) 01:24, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  My bad, I want the contents of Template:Divbox to be replaced with Template:Divbox/sandbox. Template:Divbox/sandbox already uses Template:Divbox/styles.css so no editing needs to be done beside the copy and paste. – (t@lk) 15:01, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:   The classes were removed because they are not needed, and the inline stylizing is to centre the text. There's two div tags because only some of the text gets centred. Before it was calling other templates, increasing load time. – (t@lk) 03:59, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why aren't the classes needed? Yes, but why is the styling inline and not in TemplateStyles? The change from  to style="border-radius:" does not result in the same style. I don't see a good reason to remove  and . — JJMC89 (T·C) 04:29, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
