The curly braces also have the side effect of treating anything inside
the brace as non wiki text, so you will find that the text of the box
is <<tiddler "abc.txt">> rather than the text of the file abc.txt
You can however alter the StyleSheet to mimic the styling.
Try putting the following in your StyleSheet instead:
.yellowBox {
border: 1px solid #FE8;
background: #FFC;
padding: 0.5em;
margin-left: 0.5em;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
overflow: auto;
display: block;
font-family: monospace;
white-space: pre;
margin: 1em 0px;
}
