<notebook>: With notebooks you can distribute the view fields on different tabs (each one defined by a page tag). You
can use the tabpos properties to set tab at: up, down, left, right.
Example

Group
<group>: groups several columns and split the group in as many columns as desired.
• colspan: the number of columns to use
• rowspan: the number of rows to use
• expand: if we should expand the group or not
• col: the number of columns to provide (to its children)
