This template is used to place a customized border around text or an image. Note, to add a plain border to an image, use the |border parameter in [[File:...]] (see Wikipedia:Picture tutorial).

Syntax

Basic

Basic usage is {{border|element}}, where element is the text, image, etc. around which the border is to appear. The border will be a solid light grey color (#ddd) and 1px (1 pixel) wide by default (for custom settings; see below).

{{border|Abc}} → <{{#if:|div|span}} style="display:{{#if:|table-cell|inline-block}}; border:1px solid #ddd; {{#if:|line-height:;}} ">Abc</{{#if:|div|span}}>

All options show:

{{border |element |display=display |width=width |style=style |style2=2nd style |color=color |lh=line height}}

{{border |Abc|width=2px|style=dotted |color=red}} → <{{#if:|div|span}} style="display:{{#if:|table-cell|inline-block}}; border:2px dotted red; {{#if:|line-height:;}} ">Abc</{{#if:|div|span}}>
