Format a frame

Frames provide a way to manage decorative containers for content blocks and any other elements within the site. For example, one frame can be a container, made of div or span tags, that is styled with rounded corners.

About this task

Individual content blocks use a frame UI macro to define the frames. When viewing a content block form, the Frame field offers a choice between the different frame UI macros. The frame UI macro does not, however, have the definition for the frame within its Jelly script. Instead, it references a particular frame as defined in a style sheet.

Configuring a new frame is a two-step process.

Procedure

1. Define the frame in a style sheet.

2. Create the frame UI macro to invoke the frame definition.

3. Define a frame in a style sheet
   Add style definitions for any custom frame UI macro you create.

4. Create a frame UI macro
   Copy an existing frame UI macro to display content in a custom frame.
