To place a simple box around text , you can use the ^ tag, as explained in WikiCharacterFormattingDoc. The BOX plugin, one of several plugins that may be available on your Tiki site, creates a box with a title bar. Optionally, you can add title text, a background color, and/or a width (specified in pixels or a percentage of the available window space). The title bar is formatted using the CSS style used for module headings, so the box will look consistent no matter which theme is chosen.

This plugin was recently added or modified. Until an editor of the site validates the parameters, execution will not be possible. 
                                    

Note the following:

• Title is text that appears in a one-line title box. Keep it short!
• color is a hexadecimal color code, such as #FFFFFF (white).
• num is the width of the box in pixels or, if followed by a percent sign, the width as a percentage of the available window area.
• The commas aren't needed unless you type two or more of the options.

TIP: Even though the title 's optional, be sure to define a title. The default title is "Message Box," which isn't very helpful to your readers.

The square brackets indicate that the parameter is optional.

• Adds an attractively formatted box to any page that accepts Wiki formatting (including articles, blogs, comments, forums, HTML, and Wiki pages)
• Title bar is formatted using the module heading style defined in the current theme
• Background color (optional)
• Width in pixes (optional)
• Width in perentages (optional)

Using the BOX Plugin

To use the BOX plugin, do the following:

1. Place the insertion point on a blank line.
2. Define the box and the options you want (title, background color, and/or width ) by following these examples:

   2. Background color: {BOX(bg=>#CCCCCC)}
   3. Width in pixels: {BOX(width=>256)}
   4. Width in percentage: {BOX(width=75%)
   5. All options: {BOX(title=>Title, bg=>#CCCCCC, width=>75%)}
3. Type the text you would like to place within the box, and press Enter.
4. Type {BOX}.
