Using the content block...
The content block can contain any HTML.
The contents will allways fit the screen, the aspect ratio of the content block is fixed regardless of the viewer.
Contents will not get clipped as long as they are within the block.
NOTE: by default the overflow is visible (see next page), so be carefull.
You can still use the full page area...
Though anything outside the content block can and will get clipped, depending on viewer aspect ratio...
You can see this by resizing the page in browser or rotating the device.
Page Templates
This page contains several examples of template fields, the first one is the simplest, the magazine name ([MAGAZINE NAME]), then we'll have the index (see next) and in the bottom-right corner is the page number...
