Elements and Attributes

Elements are tags that contain your content and there are many different types of elements that you can use, see Supported Elements. To learn how to add elements to your content, see Add Elements.

Elements are divided into two groups depending on what you intend to do:

  • Use block elements to build the structure.

    Block elements are elements that go on a new line, such as para, itemizedlist, and procedure.

  • Use inline elements to mark up content inside block elements.

    Inline elements are elements that you apply to a word or sequence of words inside a block element. Some common examples of inline elements are emphasis for italic text and guilabel for highlighting the names of fields and other parts of a product's interface.

To learn about adding block elements and inline elements, see Add structure elements.

Every element has a set of Attributes, which are properties that define the element's characteristics. Each attribute has a value, and by changing the value, you can control how Paligo uses the element, see Add Attributes.
