Use

---

Makes a light grey box for listing code blocks. The main function lies in the POEM tags, and this template simply make a DIV box as a container for the code block. The default font is Fixedsys since it emphasises punctuation well. The box has options to change its appearance. Call it as follows.

{{codeblock|Heading Here|<poem><nowiki>Code Block Here</nowiki></poem>}}

NOTE THE USE OF NOWIKI AND POEM TAG PAIRS.

It looks like this:

Wikitext Code for a Colored Table {| style="background:lightyellow; color:red; border-top:1px solid gray; border-right:1px solid black; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid gray;" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5px align=left width=70%   |+ Top Caption Goes Here |-   ! style="background:brown;color:white;border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|Heading 1   ! style="background:brown;color:white;border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|Heading 2   ! style="background:brown;color:white;border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|Heading 3 |-   | width=33% style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|A   | width=33% style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|B   | width=33% style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|C |-   | style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|D   | style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|E   | style="border-bottom:1px solid gray"|F |-   | style="border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|G   | style="border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|H   | style="border-bottom:1.5px solid black"|I |}
