I think you can do this, as long as you don't indent your tags at all.

Where is emacs-wiki-boxes.el located?  That might possibly be
something that would be worth including in emacs-wiki if the author
agrees.

It looks like the following CSS code is used by the webpage that you
mentioned in order to color boxes.

pre {
    border: #777777 1px solid;
    padding: 0.5em;
    margin-left: 1em;
    margin-right: 2em;
    white-space: pre;
    background-color: #e6e6e6;
    color: black;
}

You will want to put this in a CSS file and refer to the other
instructions on this thread on how to use it for a particular page.

To do a box, put something like this in your Wiki file.

<pre>
My content is here inside the box.
</pre>

Or if you want to make sure that certain types of markup are left
alone, use this.

<verbatim>
My unmangled content goes here.
</verbatim>

There is a sample CSS file included in the "examples" directory.  I
plan on updating the info documentation extensively, an ongoing
process.
