Table Of Contents
"Selecting an element" on page638, "Attributes" on page636 and "Styling and formatting an
element" on page639.
ID's and classes are particularly useful with regard to variable data (see "Personalizing
content" on page789) and styling (see "Styling templates with CSS files" on page747).
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 page727 and "Dynamic images" on page823
l "Text and special characters" on page739
l "Date" on page715
l "Table" on page735and "Dynamic Table" on page825
l "Boxes" on page696: Positioned Box, Inline Box, Div and Span
Tip
Wrapping elements in a box (see "Boxes" on page696) or in a semantic HTML
element makes it easier to target them in a script or in 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808 and "Styling and formatting" on
page745.
l "Hyperlink and mailto link" on page725
l "Barcode" on page640
