A Recommendation

Now Elementor basically does the same thing as Adobe’s Indesign, only for web pages instead of print. Now the Scribus app does the same thing as Indesign, only using XML. One thing you can do in a print page layout app is link text boxes together. In the case of Scribus, you place two text frames on a page, click on the link text frames tab above the editing, then click on the two boxes one after another. The XML for this is:

<text object> attributes </text objects>

There is some more code used to put the above into action, but given that Scribus is open source software it shouldn’t be that hard to get it from the Scribus people.

My purpose in posting this is to encourage you to add this text box linking feature to Elementor because some of us out here can see a good reason to link separate text boxes so that the text will continue flow between the two without having to mess with cut and paste. As when having to adjust the size of one box, which could lead to having to cut and paste again.

And yes, I’d like to see the feature so I can implement a few ideas of my own.
