Help Request Infoboxes

[CadetNewb]

This is going to sound strange, but I'm trying to learn how to code for the wiki from the ground up. The templates are quick and easy to use, but I don't really learn anything by using them. I've gotten as far as this page here, but I can't go any further since that page itself appears to also be using itself as a template. I'd like to figure out how to have the infoboxes on the left or right, or even pick pointy corners over rounded ones and the like by studying the source code, but I don't think that's visible if I click the source code button on that page.

Is this making sense, or am I babbling?

Hi there.

Those are HTML templates which rely on CSS in the back end.

Is there a type of infobox you're looking at making for a character or location or other lore?

Cheers,

You could also try and make one using tables:

Header 1
Content 1	Content 2

[TABLE=collapse,right,nobackground]
[TR]
[TH]Header 1[/TH]
[TH]Header 2[/TH]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Content 1[/TD]
[TD]Content 2[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

CSS. I originally thought it was some sort of code like what dokuwiki uses, but suddenly, this makes a lot more sense. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
