GuideML - BOXHOLDER Tag
Created | Updated May 2, 2003
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.
