+ | Q: I'm working on Vancouver Exposed which has sections of text in boxes - they seem like asides, but they also seem to fit within the narrative flow? Can I format these in text boxes like we did for fight like a physicist? | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can put them into text boxes. These will translate to < | ||

+ | |||
+ | A: Yes. Include the image. Remember you can also resize the image to fit it on the page. If this does not work then put the term Aside in the heading and I will manually code them during conversion. I will also place a ticket into DAISY to see if this issue can be fixed. | ||
