Tip
Wrapping elements in a box (see "Boxes" on page164) 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 page230 and "Styling and formatting" on
page186.

Most elements are suitable for use in all contexts. There are a few exceptions, however. Forms
and Form elements can be used on web pages only, whereas Whitespace elements and Page
numbers can only be used in a Print context. Positioned boxes are well suited for Print
sections, but are to be avoided in the Email context.
Whether it is best to use a Table or Box to position text, images and other elements, depends
on the context in which they are used; see "How to position elements" on page199 for more
information.
