<boxed-text>

Boxed Text

Textual material that is part of the body of a standards document but is outside the flow of the narrative text (for example, a sidebar).

Remarks

Usage: The <boxed-text> element can be used for any text insert whether enclosed in a box or not (for example, marginalia, sidebars, cautions, tips, warnings, note boxes).
When Content is a Form: The @is-form attribute can be used to indicate that the text box contains a form. What constitutes a “form” is not defined by NISO STS.
