While not always necessary, sometimes you need to put your DOM in a box. For those situations, try the panel component.

By default, all the .panel does is apply some basic border and padding to contain some content.

<div class="panel panel-default">
  <div class="panel-body">

Example 1. Panel without heading

Basic panel example

Easily add a heading container to your panel with .panel-heading

Html Code
<div class="panel panel-default">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    Panel title
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    Panel content
  </div>

Like other components, easily make a panel more meaningful to a particular context by adding any of the contextual state classes.

<div class="panel panel-primary">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h3 class="panel-title">Panel title</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">

You will have tons of WARNING because AsciiDoc does not support the panel-style open block. But the result is not so bad. Check yourself: select the AsciiDoc entry in Themes menu.
