Question Text Box
Does anyone know is it possible to add a text box into epub?

I would like to achieve a text box which uses the CSS formatting within the box and be able to position the box with CSS, not effecting the text within.

Depending on what you mean:

A real box simple: I use borders and padding to keep the contents away from the lines

Need to control the size and placement:
The box is part of a Div
The contents is inside the div

IMHO the picture of the Box Model at W3C really helps wrap your head around the concept.

Then all you have to do is compromise because those manufactures 'know better' and mucked it up.

These types of questions really belong in the epub forum and not the Sigil forum as they really do not depend on Sigil. If there is a moderator out there, please move this thread to the epub forum.

Thanks
