Template:Display box

From Wikiversity


This template is adapted from Template:Robelbox2. The main differences are summarized below.

Robelbox2 Display box
predefined color themes arbitrary colors
border no border
optional icon no icon

The border (and other aspects) could be made customizable in the future, if desired. Also, icons could be added back in; they were removed for simplicity.

  • This template was originally created for use on Eventmath, and the default colors reflect this.
  • A more flexible template is Colored box, but it would need to be imported to Wikiversity. I didn't find the Colored box template in my initial search before creating this Display box template.--Greg at Higher Math Help (discusscontribs) 08:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
