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 page409.
Element types
The following types of content can be added to the content of a template:
l "Images" on page475 and "Dynamic Images" on page545
l "Text and special characters" on page484
l "Date" on page464
l "Table" on page480and "Dynamic table" on page547
l "Boxes" on page454: Positioned Box, Inline Box, Div and Span
Tip
Wrapping elements in a box (see "Boxes" on page454) 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 page537 and "Styling and formatting" on
page488.
l "Hyperlink and mailto link" on page474
l "Barcode" on page413
l Web "Forms" on page466 and Web "Form Elements" on page470
l "Whitespace elements: using optional space at the end of the last page" on page316
(Print context only)
l "Page numbers " on page317 (Print context only)
