Description Mike Norman CLA 2008-08-25 12:04:59 EDT 
Problem: while porting over EclipseLink pages from our internal Wiki (running
Atlassian's Confluence) to Eclipse Foundation's Wiki (running Mediawiki), a
number of things render very differently.

In a number of cases where we were not satisfied with how things rendered in
Confluence, the recommended approach was to use a stylesheet. For example, Confluence has a built-in {panel} macro that creates a boxed-in effect; but
the box title is centered and on a 22" monitor, simple boxes looked 'funny'.
The macro does not have a setting to change the title centering, but adding
a "text-align: left;" to its css-class solved the problem:
<style type="text/css">
.panelHeader {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #3c78b5;
    padding: 0 12px;
    line-height: 20pt;
    text-align: left;
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
}</style>

The extensions http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageCSS 
or http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CSS allows modifications of
stylesheet css'es to be done inline to the page
