Examples/Usage
This plugin has a toolbar icon which pops up a window with which you design your box, including border styles and colors, text color and box color, the width of the box in percentages, and the position of the box on the page.
You can either start by selecting your text and then designing your box or you can create your box and add text to it. You can also include images in these boxes; however, image position depends on the Dokuwiki markup.

FAQ
Discussion
I has an error when I clicked the menu button
I had to change the line of the file “script.js”, from
var url = encodeURI('lib/plugins/block/exe/block.php');
to
var url = encodeURI('lib/plugins/block/exe/block.php?');
Thank you. I've updated the plugin.
How can I get two 'blocks' next to each other?
Or some text and then a block to the right of it?
Every time I try it, the block doesn't 'share' its line with anything else. Thanks
Try it with the wrap plugin
Is there antother option except the wrap plugin? Because, when i try to use the wrap plugin, it doesn´t work.
Whenever I try to type in the box, Windows puts the text in the text Find (aka Search) box. Result is no text can go into the box.
Sorry I didn't see this eaarlier. But I can't reproduce this. The following page uses box throughout and from Windows: http://www.mturner.org/devel/doku.php — Myron Turner 2015-10-06 01:53
