Not for inlinetasks. For everything but heading, we can actually use
special blocks.

For headings, there is also :HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS property.

Yes, but they are currently rather plain (other than having an image):

    .org-info-box {
	clear:both;
	margin-left:auto;
	margin-right:auto;
	padding:0.7em;
    }
    .org-info-box img {
	float:left;
	margin:0em 0.5em 0em 0em;
    }
    .org-info-box p {
	margin:0em;
	padding:0em;
    }

Wondering if we should add some background.

.org-info-box is certainly not suitable for inline highlights.
Do we need such highlights though? Isn't the classic
italic/bold/underline enough?
