You know how
on the
Wikipedia.com encyclopedia they have those nice
grey boxes with dashed borders to show code? How do you make those?
It was default on my (current) mediawiki installation with
<pre>...</pre> and monobook style.
Yep, that's the trick: they're not tables, but the CSS rule that the
MonoBook skin applies to <pre> (and <code>, too, I think) blocks. The
nice-'n'-easy wiki syntax for those is putting a space at the
beginning of each line of text/code/whatever. Consecutive lines that
all have a space in front of them will be treated as one block of
pre-formatted text, and thus have one nice big grey dotty border round
them.
