TagBox

Usage

• TagBox[boxes, tag] displays as boxes but maintains tag to guide the interpretation of boxes on input.

Notes

• TagBox provides a way to store hidden information in Mathematica output.

• TagBox is generated sometimes in StandardForm output, and often in TraditionalForm output.

• By convention, tag is typically a symbol that corresponds to the head of the interpreted form of boxes.

• The following options can be given:

AutoDelete	False	whether to strip the TagBox if boxes are modified
DeletionWarning	False	whether to issue a warning if boxes are deleted
Editable	Automatic	whether to allow boxes to be edited
Selectable	True	whether to allow boxes to be selected
StripWrapperBoxes	False	whether to remove StyleBox etc. from within boxes

• If you modify the displayed form of TagBox[boxes, tag] only boxes will be modified, and there is no guarantee that correct correspondence with tag will be maintained.

• See Section 2.9.10.
