An os_body is the portion of an os_page rendered by a browser. An os_body and an os_head comprise an os_page. Refer to the " os_head " section for details on this class.

An os_page has an os_body by containment, making it unnecessary in most cases to create an os_body explicitly. Most functions in os_body are also found in os_page . The os_page class simply forwards the functions to the contained os_body for convenience.

Elements are inserted into an os_body through either the add() member function or operator<< . The elements within an os_body , such as os_paragraph and os_heading , form the contents of the page. A background image for the body can be specified either in the constructor or through the background() member function.
