    I'm working on an article at the moment and I'm finding that there are lots of interesting little side notes - often the additional knowledge is helpful to those more familiar with the subject, but overkill to those who are reading through for the first time. Ideally I'd like to be able to put these in some form of call out box thingie, much like you might find in a Dummies book. Not that I would admit to reading a Dummies book you understand. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what sort of markup I can use for this sort of callout box, as I am aware that extra markup would normally be removed on submission? Thanks, Chris

      Chris, I normally mark it up using the address tag or the italic tag.

        Hey Pete, Thanks for the response. I guess these would do the job! I should have thought of italics myself, but the address tag is a new one to me. Thanks, Chris
