More on text handling

[Jeremy (Jeremy Hughes)]

Hi Geoff,

This isn’t something that Xway supports natively yet (we’re planning to do that in future), but you can use CSS Flexbox (via Extended Properties in Xway) to arrange boxes side by side.

See this thread:

Boxes inside boxes (FW - Float Left)

I’m struggling to work out how I can create a similar layout to one I would make in FW, e.g. by inserting 4 HTML Items with a width of 25% into an HTML item and choosing Float Left for these items. The end result being 4 boxes, side by side. Specifically in Xway, I’d like to have an image box, a text box and another image box at the same level of the page.

Floating text around images is also something that Xway doesn’t support natively yet (it’s on the to-do list), but once again you can use Extended Properties to do this - select the image and add a property called “float” with a value of “left” (or “right”), omitting the quotes.
