Purpose

To collect images or olpc & user boxes into a single column grouping easily. This template is not just for userboxes; it is also an efficient way of creating a column of images to run along the side of an article. {{Gallery}}, by contrast, creates rows of images and is used when the images should not run alongside the text but rather should serve as a break in the text.

This documentation needs to be fully integated to the wiki.

Usage

{{olpcboxtop
 | align =           <!-- { left | right } -->
 | left =            <!-- Any left margin value. Defaults to 1. -->
 | backgroundcolor = <!-- Any web color (name or #XXXXXX hex format). Defaults to #FFFFFF. -->
 | bordercolor =     <!-- Any web color (name or #XXXXXX hex format). Defaults to #99B3FF. -->
 | extra-css =       <!-- Allows you to provide additional CSS style information. -->
 | textcolor =       <!-- Any web color (name or #XXXXXX hex format). Defaults to #000000. -->
 | toptext =         <!-- Overrides the standard [[Olpcboxes]] text and link. Can include wiki-markup. -->
 }}

[olpcboxes]

{{olpcboxbottom}}

All of the parameters are optional. You may also insert breaks by using {{olpcboxbreak}}. See that template for details.

Hiding olpcboxes

You can hide olpcboxes which utilize this (as well as a few other) forms of template-based userbox organization. Simply edit your userspace CSS override (for example, monobook.css for the Monobook skin) and add the following–

table.userboxes { display: none; }

table.olpcboxes { display: none; }

the above has to be determined & established
