Button name: Linebox.

Feature or effect: Produces, automatically, with a one button click, a fully coded special text box with a top "in line" caption and a single line border.

a. All text is automatically flush left. So Line box can be used when you have special text, which is looks better flush left, to be inserted in the middle of other text which you want to be indented. If you want your text in the line box to be indented... just select it and use the "p" (paragraph) button.

b. You can do anything inside of linebox. Change fonts (including in the legend). Bold, italic. Insert an image, a table, an iframe, a quote.

Testing: Just go into the write panel and click "Linebox" and then save your post. You will see the effect demonstrated completely. Next, edit your post changing the text (in the top "caption" also called a "legend"and in middle of the box. This is a very nice posting feature that lets you emphasize particular segments of text.

Interesting effects. The flexibility of the linebox lets you create interesting effects. For example, you could enclose text inside of a linebox in a table and set the border to "0." This allows you to control the background color of your linebox. It is a very classy presentation.

You can put as much text inside the box as you like. Here is an screen cap of an actual use of the linebox to delineate an important bit of text:



This is the code that the button punches in:

Quote:
<fieldset><legend>Look at this special text</legend>The text here.... appears in a simple box</fieldset>


a. Simply replace "Look at this special text" with your new heading.

b. Replace "The text here... appears in a simple box" with the Gettysburg address or any other text.

Here is an example of an edited code:

Quote:
<fieldset><legend>Ways to Learn</legend>Study hard. Practice. Study some more. Test yourself. </fieldset>


One note of caution: The top caption in the line box doesn't wrap... so it might stick out farther than your page width (on some browsers) if you make it too long.
