How to use it
In the Formatting dialog the position property can often be found on the first tab, under
Positioning. To open the Formatting dialog, right-click the element and click the respective
element on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, select the element (see "Selecting an element" on
page166) and on the Format menu click the respective element.
This property isn't present in one of the tab menus of the style rule editor, but you can add it and
specify a value after clicking the Advanced button in the style rule editor (see "Styling templates
with CSS files" on page239).
About the CSS display property
The display property is one of the most important CSS properties for controlling layout. Yet it is
unlikely that you will use it often to position elements in a template: in most cases, the initial
value of the display property for an element will be the right one.
It is more likely that you will use this property in style sheets and scripts to hide certain
elements, by setting the value of this property to none(display: none;). (See "Styling templates
with CSS files" on page239 and "Writing your own scripts" on page323.)
For an online tutorial about this property, see w3schools website.
Rotating elements
In any type of template, boxes, images, tables, text and other elements can be rotated.
The toolbar buttons Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counter Clockwise rotate the element in
which the cursor is located 90 degrees at a time.
To rotate an element into another angle position, use the 'angle' CSS property of the element.
In most cases, this can be done in the element's Formatting dialog. In other cases, such as with
text, you have to enter the CSS property and value manually. Both methods are explained in
the following procedure.
1. Right-click the element and click the respective element on the shortcut menu.
Alternatively, select the element (see "Selecting an element" on page166) and click the
respective element on the Format menu.
2.
On the first tab, look for the angle property. If it is available, type the number of degrees
the element should be rotated. A positive number will rotate the element clockwise, a
negative number rotates it counter-clockwise. Skip steps 3 to 6.
If the angle property is not available, proceed with the following step.
