}}
  • All parameters are optional.
  • Images should normally be scaled to x45px or less.

Most HTML-based tables use only a handful of these attributes. The following subset can be used to quickly convert an HTML userbox into the format used here:

{{userbox
| border-c = 
| id       = 
| id-c     = 
| id-fc    = 
| id-s     = 
| info     = 
| info-c   = 
| info-fc  = 
| info-lh  = 
| info-s   = 
}}

Code Result
{{userbox
| border-c      = #aaffaa
| border-s      = 2
| id            = foo
| id-c          = #ffffee
| id-s          = 20
| info          = ''foo bar''
| info-c        = #ffeeff
| info-s        = 12
}}
foofoo bar
Below example shows the default appearance of a userbox, which is (much) higher than the 45px.
Compare the height of the one below with the above userbox.
{{userbox
| border-c      = #aaffaa
| border-s      = 2
| id            = foo logo
| id-c          = #ffffee
| info          = ''We are trying to see 
default distance in between text 
lines, see the distance in 
between cell content and its border, 
and also see total height.''
| info-c        = #ffeeff
}}
foo logoWe are trying to see default distance in between text lines, see the distance in between cell content and its border, and also see total height.
Below example shows how we can change that userbox and further specify 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
| border-c      = #aaffaa
| border-s      = 1
| id            = foo logo
| id-c          = #ffffee
| id-lh         = 1.1em
| id-s          = 14
| info          = ''We have specified values 
to lessen the distance between 
text lines and padding space between 
cell content and its border.''
| info-c        = #ffeeff
| info-lh       = 1.05em
| info-p        = 1pt
| info-s        = 8
}}
foo logoWe have specified values to lessen the distance between text lines and padding space 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 or "text-decoration" to add lines around the text. Below, on the right side are two userboxes:
the top one is displayed without either parameters; and the bottom userbox is displayed by using the below code,
with the help of the "info-op" field.
{{userbox
| border-c      = #afa
| border-s      = 2
| id            = foo logo
| id-c          = #ffe
| id-lh         = 1.1em
| id-s          = 14
| info          = foo bar
| info-c        = #fef
| info-op       = font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; text-decoration: wavy overline green;
| info-s        = 14
}}

Microformats

edit
bodyclass
This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the userbox as a whole.
info-class
This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the info component.

This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag a userbox as containing hCard information about a person, for example, add the following parameter:

| bodyclass     = vcard

or

| info-class    = vcard

then (for example):

<nowiki>
| title         = …the books of <span class="fn">[[Iain Banks]]</span>
</nowiki>

...and so forth.

Examples include:

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia.
