I simply took the CSS rules from the current stock DokuWiki, and only
removed the background icons.  I considered it most important to
highlight the messages in some way.  Actually, I consider the reduced
font-size rather questionable, and personally I would prefer some more
horizontal margin.  The border-radius is all the same to me.

It seems to be reasonable to adjust the styling to the php.net manual
pages, which has (more or less)

    div.warning {
        box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,.15);
        border-radius: 0 0 2px 2px;
        background: #F4DFDF;
        border-color: #EABFBF;
        padding: .75rem;
        margin: 1.5rem 0;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

What do you think?

As Hannes already said, it is a custom message.  See my comment on the
respective PR (<https://github.com/php/web-wiki/pull/5>).  I'm sure, the
message can be improved -- any suggestions are welcome (I'm not a native
English speaker, obviously).
