 \title Anchor-based Layout in QML
 
+\section1 Overview

 In addition to the more traditional \l Grid, \l Row, and \l Column,
 QML also provides a way to layout items using the concept of \e anchors.
 Each item can be thought of as having a set of 7 invisible "anchor lines":

-The anchoring system also allows you to specify margins and offsets. Margins specify the amount of empty space to leave to the outside of an item, while offsets allow you to manipulate positioning using the center anchor lines. Note that margins specified using the anchor layout system only have meaning for anchors; they won't have any effect when using other layouts or absolute positioning.

+\section1 Anchor Margins and Offsets
+
+The anchoring system also allows \e margins and \e offsets to be specified for an item's anchors.
+Margins specify the amount of empty space to leave to the outside of an item's anchor, while
+offsets allow positioning to be manipulated using the center anchor lines.  An item can
+specify its anchor margins individually through \l {Item::anchors.leftMargin}{leftMargin},
+\l {Item::anchors.rightMargin}{rightMargin}, \l {Item::anchors.topMargin}{topMargin} and
+\l {Item::anchors.bottomMargin}{bottomMargin}, or use \l {Item::}{anchors.margins} to
+specify the same margin value for all four edges. Anchor offsets are specified using
+\l {Item::anchors.horizontalCenterOffset}{horizontalCenterOffset},
+\l {Item::anchors.verticalCenterOffset}{verticalCenterOffset} and
+\l {Item::anchors.baselineOffset}{baselineOffset}.

+edge, the margin is not applied.

+Also, anchor-based layouts cannot be mixed with absolute positioning. If an item specifies its
+\l {Item::}{x} position and also sets \l {Item::}{anchors.left},
+or anchors its left and right edges but additionally sets a \l {Item::}{width}, the
+result is undefined, as it would not be clear whether the item should use anchoring or absolute
+positioning. The same can be said for setting an item's \l {Item::}{y} and \l {Item::}{height}
+with \l {Item::}{anchors.top} and \l {Item::}{anchors.bottom}, or setting \l {Item::}{anchors.fill}
+as well as \l {Item::}{width} or \l {Item::}{height}. If you wish to change from using
+anchor-based to absolute positioning, you can clear an anchor value by setting it to \c undefined.

+arrays, and QVariantMap and JavaScript objects.
