What are Infoboxes[edit | edit source]
Infoboxes are nothing more than a table saved as a template. However there is one minor difference: the table has a classification in its title, like so in Wikitext:
- {| class=infobox .............. |} or in HTML
- <table class=infobox>.........</table>
This "class=infobox" tells the table to behave like an infobox instead of a regular table and places itself on the right side of the page with a certain width, etc.
So let us create a infobox for an organization. We will do it both in Wikitext and HTML.
| Wikitext | HTML |
| {| class=infobox |} | <table class=infobox> |
