When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on the next page.
Element types
The following types of content can be added to the content of a template:
l "Images" on page453 and "Dynamic Images" on page521
l "Text and special characters" on page462
l "Date" on page442
l "Table" on page458and "Dynamic table" on page523
l "Boxes" on page432: Positioned Box, Inline Box, Div and Span
Tip
Wrapping elements in a box (see "Boxes" on page432) or in a semantic HTML
element makes it easier to target them in a script or a style sheet. Place the cursor
in the element or select multiple elements. Then, on the menu, click Insert > Wrap
in Box. You can now use the wrapper element as a script's or style's selector; see
"Using the Text Script Wizard" on page513 and "Styling and formatting" on
page465.
l "Hyperlink and mailto link" on page452
l "Barcode" on page391
l Web "Forms" on page444 and Web "Form Elements" on page449
l "Whitespace elements: using optional space at the end of the last page" on page301
(Print context only)
l "Page numbers " on page302 (Print context only)
l Article, Section, Header, Footer, Nav and Aside are HTML5 semantic elements; see
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_semantic_elements.asp
l Other HTML elements: Heading, Address and Pre
l "Snippets" on page464: a Snippet is a small, ready-to-use piece of content in a file
