Makes sense to have sharp corners for the code macro.

Sure, the question that remains is whether the box macro should have sharp
corners or if instead it should have round corners as the other info, error,
warning, success macros.
Generally speaking I think that we should only 1 generic macro called {{box}}
which would have:
* an optional title
* an optional image/icon
* content
* style (default is round corners)
Then we should refactor the info, warning, success and error macros to be
specializations of this box macro. Same for the code macro which should also be
a specialization of this box macro.

WDYT?
