An
<ilayer>
tag creates a layer that occupies space in the containing text
flow. Subsequent content is placed after the space occupied by
<ilayer>
.
This is in contrast to the
<layer>
tag, which creates a layer above the
containing text flow, allowing subsequent content to be placed under the
layer just created.
The
<ilayer>
tag removes the need for an enclosing, attribute-free
<lay-
er>
that serves to put a nest of specially positioned layers inline with
the content flow, much like we did in most of the examples in the previ-
ous sections of this appendix. The attributes of
<ilayer>
are the same as
those for the
<layer>
tag.
