Tip
Wrapping elements in a box (see "Boxes" on page 265) 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 338 and "Styling and formatting" on page
398.

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 and Web 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 page 410 for more
information.
Editing HTML
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file.
To see this, toggle to the Design tab in the workspace. Click anywhere in the content. Take a
look at the breadcrumbs at the top of the workspace. The breadcrumbs show the HTML tag of
