| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Userbox. It contains usage information, categories and other content or metadata that is not part of the original template. |
This template can be used to quickly create a infobox for display on a user's user page without having to know HTML or Wikitable syntax.
A list of such userboxes can be found here!

Result
|
{{userbox}} |
|
{{userbox
| id = foo
| id-s = 20
| id-c = #ffffee
| info = ''foo bar''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| info-s = 12
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 2
}} |
|
Below example showing the default appearance of a userbox. Which is (much) higher than the 45px. Compare the height of the below one with the above userbox.
|
{{userbox
| id = foo logo
| id-c = #ffffee
| info = ''We are trying to see
default distance in between text
lines, and, see the distance in
between cell content and its border
and also see total height.''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 2
}} |
foo logo
|
We are trying to see default distance in between text lines, and, see the distance in between cell content and its border and also see total height.
|
|
Below example showing how we can change that userbox and specify further parameters to bring down the overall height of the userbox, to the recommended height of 45px, even with four text lines. Cell padding parameter "info-p" can also be set at "1pt 1pt 1pt 2pt" or, "1pt 2pt" for better appearance, when there are 4 text lines.
|
{{userbox
| id = foo logo
| id-s = 14
| id-c = #ffffee
| id-lh = 1.1em
| info = ''We have specified values
to lessen the distance in between
text lines & padding space in between
cell content and its border.''
| info-c = #ffeeff
| info-s = 8
| info-p = 1pt
| info-lh = 1.05em
| border-c = #aaffaa
| border-s = 1
}} |
foo logo
|
We have specified values to lessen the distance in between text lines & padding space in between cell content and its border.
|
|
Below example is for advanced users, showing how we can specify other CSS properties, for example, "font-family", to change the font, which are not existing inside the template already. At below, right side shows two userboxes; top one is displayed without the "font-family" parameter, but the bottom userbox is displayed by using the below codes, with the help of "info-op" parameter.
|
{{userbox
| id = foo logo
| id-s = 14
| id-c = #ffe
| id-lh = 1.1em
| info = foo bar
| info-c = #fef
| info-s = 14
| info-op = font-family:'Courier New';
| border-c = #afa
| border-s = 2
}} |
|
Basic details

{{userbox
