Help:Inserting callout boxes
From Gospel Translations
This is a standard callout box. It aligns vertically with the top of the paragraph it is placed next to.
In some of our resources, especially books, it is occasionally necessary to insert a "callout box" like the one on the right. This is easily done, but it does require a little extra know-how. The table below gives you code and examples for producing different results.
The basics:
- Click the "wikitext" button on the page editor to bring up the code for the page
- {{LeftInsert|any text you want}} puts "any text you want" in a box on the left
- {{RightInsert|any other text you want}} puts "any other text you want" in a box on the right
- To embellish text in the box, surrounding a word with '''three ticks''' makes it bold, and ''two ticks'' makes it italicized
