Template:DYK mbox
- This template uses the following internal syntax
<table class="{{#if:{{{table class|}}}|{{{table class}}}|plainlinks ombox dykbox-notice}}" style="{{#if:{{{table style|}}}|{{{table style}}}|}}">{{#if:{{{table header|}}}|{{{table header}}}|}}{{#if:{{{table row|}}}|{{{table row}}}|<tr>}}{{#if:{{{table data|}}}|{{{table data}}}|<td class="mbox-image">{{#if:{{{file|}}}|[[File:{{{file}}}|{{#if:{{{file size|}}}|{{{file size}}}x{{{file size}}}px|33x33px}}|{{#if:{{{file link|}}}|link={{{file link}}}|link=}}|{{#if:{{{alter|}}}|alt={{{alter}}}|alt=}}]]|[[File:GAflag.gif|33x33px|link=|alt=]]}}</td><td class="mbox-text" style="{{#if:{{{td style|}}}|{{{td style}}}|}}">{{{text}}}</td>}}{{#if:{{{file2|}}}|<td><span style="float:right">{{{file2}}}</span></td>|}}</tr></table>
- The internal template code for the default switch,
{{DYK/mbox}}, produces the following output:
<table class="plainlinks ombox dykbox-notice" style=""><tr><td class="mbox-image">[[File:GAflag.gif|33x33px|link=|alt=]]</td><td class="mbox-text" style="">{{{text}}}</td></tr></table>
- which produces:
| {{{text}}} |

Template loop detected: Template:Documentation
You can use |xfile= to eliminate the image; the text floats to the left margin, and the box only grows as large as the included text; {{DYKM|xfile=true}} is shown below:
Template loop detected: Template:Documentation
Or you could use a non printable character in place of the image {{DYKM|file= |text}} which maintains the image's margin as if it were in place and the size of the box is maintained as shown below:

The |small= parameter switches from the 80% width, center aligned, message box to a smaller box that aligns to the right side of the line it is added to. It uses similar parameters as the main box except they begin with a small s, for example the text parameter for the small box is |stext=. Therefor the following code: {{DYKM|small=y|stext=This is the small box text}} produces the following:
