Question containers

Questions can have an overlay on top of the default styles applied to them, which gives the user a degree of freedom in defining how different questions and content components can appear on the page.

Any theme provided by Formsort will have at least one container style - default - but you can build up your collection of different styles by heading to Containers in the Theme editor.

+Add question style allows you to create a new question container.

The Label margin is of particular note here, since it provides spacing between the Question label the buttons/input bars related to it.

Once a container style is defined, any question can use any of the container styles by clicking the question, and choosing the container style in the Question container style dropdown in the Style menu.

These containers are helpful to make different kinds of questions visually distinct: a common pattern is to create an optional question class that is used for optional questions, with left border and margin to differentiate it from non-conditional questions.
