Template:Examples Box



==Usage== Use this template to insert a "See it in action box," which contains links to examples in other wiki pages or in external websites, such as ReliaSoft.com and ReliaSoft.tv.

To insert the box in a wiki page, paste the following code.

The code inserts Template:Examples Box and 4 other "bullet" templates that serve as the content for the box, where the configurable parameters are shown in ALL CAPS. You can edit the paragraph text (e.g., “More application examples are available…”) as needed to suit the situation. You can also choose which of the four “bullet” templates are appropriate for the situation and then duplicate/delete the rows as needed.
