Block Class
An abstract class that provides a base for all block-level flow content elements.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Elements that inherit from the Block class (such as Section) can be used to group elements under a common parent or to apply common attributes to a group. Conceptually, this is similar to how you might use the <DIV> tag in HTML.
The following example demonstrates declarative usage for various flow content elements and associated attributes. Elements and attributes demonstrated include:
Bold element
BreakPageBefore attribute
FontSize attribute
Italic element
LineBreak element
List element
ListItem element
Paragraph element
Run element
Section element
Span element
Variants attribute (superscript and subscript)
Underline element
