Question: How does one make a box?

[Ostrich]

I never did figure out how to make a colored box for content. These boxes often have scroll bars in them for overflow content. I have already discovered HTML doesn't work, so how are these made? Is there a special code for them?


Example: This post

You want CSS here. try this:

[cd="width:300px;height:50px;overflow:auto;background-color:#93DB70;"]Text text text[/cd]

That comes out with:

Text text text
text
text
text
text
text

Added some text to show the scrollbar. The overflow tag creates the scrollbar, and there are various other tags you can add to that as well to do different things. There's a pseudo-guide in the Webmaster's section here on it.

Or in case you'd prefer it to have a background instead...
