Additionally, as noted in the example above, textboxes can be further denoted in the title with icons. These particular icons come from Iconoir.
Images can also be added to the body, though due to spacing and sizing restraints, some images may be too large for the textbox – this would need to be adjusted/worked on with the media specialist/technical editor.
