GuideML - BOXHOLDER Tag

1 Conversation

The <BOXHOLDER> tag creates a two-part box. Each part of the box has a title and a text area.

The way the two-part box is displayed depends on the skin. In the Classic skin the two parts are shown side by side, with the first part on the left; in Alabaster they are shown one above the other, like two consecutive boxes.

This tag is not approved for use in the Edited Guide.

Syntax and Usage

<BOXHOLDER>

<BOX>

<TITLE>...title 1...</TITLE>

<TEXT>

...text 1...

</TEXT>

</BOX>

<BOX>

<TITLE>...title 2...</TITLE>

<TEXT>

...text 2...

</TEXT>

</BOX>

</BOXHOLDER>

The ...text... sections can contain any GuideML that can be used inside the BODY section.

Known Issues

In the Classic skin, long titles will not wrap properly, so keep titles short.

Example

On One Hand...

This demonstrates a two-part box. The idea of a box is that it's an aside from the normal flow of text in an entry, and a two-part box can can be useful for boxes that logically split into two.

...And the Other

However you shouldn't rely on the layout of a two-part box, as the two skins show them very differently. It is possible that Alabaster will move towards the way the Classic skin displays two-part boxes, but this is not certain.
