This template can be used to quickly create half a userbox —that contains only a the info part— for display on a user's user page without having to know HTML or Wikitable syntax.

Usage

edit
{{User:Mootros/test_box
| bodyclass = <!-- Adds an HTML class attribute to the entire template's HTML table, to allow for styling, emission of microformats, etc. -->
| float    = <!--left|right|none (default = left)-->
| border-c = <!--border color (default = id-c)-->
| border-s = <!--border width in pixels (default = 1)-->
| info-class = <!-- Adds an HTML class attribute to the "info" HTML table-row, to allow for styling, emission of microformats, etc. -->
| info     = <!--info text-->
| info-c   = <!--info background color-->
| info-fc  = <!--info font color-->
| info-s   = <!--info text size-->
| info-p   = <!--info padding (distance between cell contents & cell border)-->
| info-lh  = <!--info line height (or distance in between text lines)-->
| info-op  = <!--info other (CSS) parameter(s)-->
| nocat    = {{{nocat|}}}<!--when 'true', doesn't categorize the user-->
| usercategory  = <!--user category (optional)-->
| usercategory2 = <!--user category (optional)-->
| usercategory3 = <!--user category (optional)-->
}}
  • Text size is assumed to be in points
  • All parameters are optional

Deprecated old syntax, for compatibility:

{{User:Mootros/test_box
| color 1
| color 2
| info
}}

Most HTML-based tables use only a handful of these attributes. The following subset can be used to quickly convert an HTML User:Mootros/test_box into the format used here:

{{User:Mootros/test_box
| border-c     = 
| info-c       = 
| info-fc      = 
| info-lh      = 
| info-s       = 
| info         = 
| nocat        = {{{nocat|}}}
| usercategory = 
}}

Code Result
{{User:Mootros/test_box}}
info
{{User:Mootros/test_box
| info = ''foo bar''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| info-s = 12
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 2
}}
foo bar
Below example shows the default appearance of a User:Mootros/test_box, which is (much) higher than the 45px. Compare the height of the one below with the above User:Mootros/test_box.
{{User:Mootros/test_box
| info = ''We are trying to see 
default distance in between text 
lines, and, see the distance in 
between cell content and its border 
and also see total height.''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 2
}}
We are trying to see default distance in between text lines, and, see the distance in between cell content and its border and also see total height.
Below example shows how we can change that User:Mootros/test_box and further specify parameters to bring down the overall height of the User:Mootros/test_box to the recommended height of 45px, even with four text lines. Cell padding parameter "info-p" can also be set at "1pt 1pt 1pt 2pt", or "1pt 2pt" for better appearance, when there are 4 text lines.
{{User:Mootros/test_box
| info = ''We have specified values 
to lessen the distance in between 
text lines & padding space in between 
cell content and its border.''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| info-s = 8
| info-p = 1pt
| info-lh = 1.05em
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 1
}}
We have specified values to lessen the distance in between text lines & padding space in between cell content and its border.
Below example is for advanced users, showing how we can specify other CSS properties, for example, "font-family", to change the font or "text-align" to change the alignment from the default parameters. At below, on the right side are two userboxes: top one is displayed without the "font-family" or "text-align" parameters; and the bottom User:Mootros/test_box is displayed by using the below codes, with the help of the "info-op" field.
{{User:Mootros/test_box
| info = foo bar
| info-c = #fef
| info-s = 14
| info-op = font-family:'Courier New'; text-align:center;
| border-c = #afa
| border-s = 2
}}
foo bar

 
foo bar

Microformats

edit
bodyclass
This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the User:Mootros/test_box as a whole.
info-class
This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the info component.

This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag a User:Mootros/test_box as containing hCard information about a person, for example, add the following parameter:

|bodyclass = vcard

or

|info-class = vcard

then (for example):

|title = …the books of <span class="fn">[[Iain Banks]]</span>

...and so forth.

Example:


See Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia.
