Divbox and Pullquote don't get along well. Here's what happens when I write some reasonable wiki code:
{{Divbox|yellow|{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}
begets:
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="
| “ | Pretend something witty is written here. | „ |
| —Iritscen |
||
" style="background-color: #FFFFCC; border: 1px solid #FFCC00; margin: 0.5em; padding: 0.5em;

After doing some reading on WP and some fiddling, I've found that:
{{Divbox|yellow|3=<br>{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}
begets
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 "<br>") before the data returned by Pullquote?
- Why does using Pullquote inside of Divbox break Divbox's "width" parameter?
#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.
