+Divbox and Pullquote don't get along well.  Here's what happens when I write some reasonable wiki code:
+<pre><nowiki>{{Divbox|yellow|{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}</nowiki></pre>
-{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"
+begets:
-! another title for hidden text
-|-
+{{Divbox|yellow|{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}
-| This text should also be hidden.
-|}
+After doing some reading on WP and some fiddling, I've found that:
+<pre><nowiki>{{Divbox|yellow|3=<br>{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}</nowiki></pre>
+begets
+{{Divbox|yellow|3=<br>{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}
+So, although it works, it's only by a hack that the two templates get along together even partially.
+Questions that need answering:
+# Why do I need to declare that the quote text is the third parameter with "3="?
+# Why does some bum text need to be inserted (here I've used "<nowiki><br></nowiki>") before the data returned by Pullquote?
+# Why does using Pullquote inside of Divbox break Divbox's "width" parameter?
+<nowiki>#</nowiki>3 is of the most concern to me, followed by #2. I suspect that the fact that Pullquote actually returns table code is part of the problem behind all this.
