<p>I installed mediawiki on my server as my personal knowledge base. Sometimes I copy some stuff from Web and paste to my wiki - such as tips &amp; tricks from somebody's blog. How do I make the copied content appear in a box with border?</p>

<p>For example, the box at the end of this blog post looks pretty nice:<br>
<a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/03/21/good-reminiscing-friday/" rel="noreferrer">http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/03/21/good-reminiscing-friday/</a></p>

<p>I could use the pre tag, but paragraphs in a pre tag won't wrap automatically.. Any ideas?</p>

Mediawiki supports the div tag.  Combine the div tag with some styles:
```
```
<div style="background-color: cyan; border-style: dashed;">
A bunch of text that will wrap.
</div>
```
```
You can play around with whatever css attributes you want, but that should get you started.
