5.9 Section Element
There are two elements that display tabular data: Table and Section. This section explains how to use the Section element. See Tables vs. Sections for a discussion of the differences between Table and Section elements.
The Section element behaves as a container of other elements, and is very useful for application requiring fixed positioning of element, such as forms. The Section provides a canvas in which you can freely place and position any other elements, including other Sections. For example, the Section below contains a TextBox element, an Image element, and a Table.

The following sections explain how to create a Section, and how to manually add components to a Section.
You can also bind a Section to a data source so that the Section displays a pseudo-table. When you use a Section as a pseudo-table, Text elements within the Section display data from fields of the data source, which produces a tabular data display. For information on how to bind a Section to a data source to produce a pseudo-table, see Binding Data to a Section Element.
