*''title'': appears '''strong''' and centered at top
*''content'': any text, including markup, for which the [[m:Help:Template#Restrictions_on_parameter_values|restrictions on parameter values]] are satisfied

The box has the full available width. In this example the width is reduced by the fact that the box is placed in a table.
