The section macro allows you to define a section of a page in which you can insert one or more columns across the page.

To add sections and columns to a page:

  1. Insert a pair of section macro elements to define the section of page that will contain your set of columns.
  2. Within this pair of section macro elements, insert a pair of column macro elements. Please note, all content within your section elements must be enclosed by a pair of column macro elements. If you do not do this, the section macro will not work.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each column you want to insert across this section of the page.
