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;

padding

1em;">

“	Pretend something witty is written here.	„
—Iritscen

{{{3}}}

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:

1. Why do I need to declare that the quote text is the third parameter with "3="?
2. Why does some bum text need to be inserted (here I've used "<br>") before the data returned by Pullquote?
3. Why does using Pullquote inside of Divbox break Divbox's "width" parameter?

Because pullquote has its own width...Gumby

#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.
