Hi,
If you care to take a look at http://www.startux.org/index.php/Apache you'll see that there are lines that doesn't wrap inside the box.
Why is that and how can i solve this issue ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

In *wiki markup* lines that start with white space are treated as preformatted text -- text that you do not want the browser to wrap or change in any way. So it does not, on purpose.
If you want the lines to wrap, you need to take the white space off the beginning of each line in the *wiki markup*.
If you want to indent the lines and still have them wrap, start them with colon (:), the *wiki markup* indent marker, but no white space.
You will want to read more about *wiki markup*, for example here:

Further use of MediaWiki will be frustrating until you read that.
Good luck and enjoy,
Roger :-)
I sometimes use the box syntax when I want to wrap some text. For example, this template is used at the top of each of the pages for the "Trail" of pages: http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Template:Trail&action=edit
If you pick a page with a long name, e.g. http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Arts_(Society/Religion_and_Spiritualit...), you can see the result.

I notice the link in the earlier post does not work (the closing ")" is not picked up by the posting mechanism. If you wish to see the "trail", choose a page without a ")" such as http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Arts and navigate to a page with a long name. Sorry for the confusion.
