paragraph

This element is used to combine text and images.

Syntax

The element declaration begins with ?paragraph=[name] statement and ends with &paragraph statement. These statements must be placed on separate lines.

name property is used as a reminder of the paragraph’s purpose; for example, “Important notice”. This is an optional property - you can use the same name for multiple paragraphs or just omit it. The name is not displayed on the form.

Attributes

The paragraph element can be customized by adding optional attributes to it.

An attribute is written as [attribute_name]=[value]. Each attribute must be placed on a new line immediately after the opening ?paragraph= statement or another attribute, and must begin with a tab character.

Attribute Default value Description Usage example
type normal Defines how paragraph elements are rendered:
  • ImageWrap - wrap text around the image.
  • inline - place all paragraph elements on the same line.
Omitting this attribute or setting it to normal will cause the text to overlay the image.		 type=ImageWrap
vertical_align center Controls how inline elements of different sizes align vertically within the lines of a paragraph:
  • top - the elements are aligned with the top of the tallest element on the line.
  • center - smaller elements are placed in the middle of the line.
  • bottom - the bottom of the elements are aligned with the bottom of the entire line.
If all paragraph elements have the same height, this property does not visually apply.		 vertical_align=top

Image wrapping

To allow the text to wrap around an image:

  1. Set the width, height, x and y attributes of the image element.
  2. Set the type attribute of the paragraph element to ImageWrap.
