HTML Preferences

Use SGML Prologue
When checked, inserts the SGML prologue element (see Document Structure) when choosing the Language command from the HyperText menu. When unchecked, will not add the prologue to your document.

Use Footer Delimiter
When checked, inserts the specified HTML comment (see Document Structure) to be used to separate the Body and Footer areas on import. When unchecked, will ignore the presence of the comment.

HTML Returns
HTML browsers ignore white space or non-HTML line breaks, so use <BR> to insert a line break (which retains the current HTML format) or <P> for a new paragraph. When checked, enters the line break or paragraph code whenever you type Return with a modifier key, as shown in the following table:

   Code             Description               Type this to insert:
   <BR>      Line Break                 Shift-Return
   <P>       Paragraph                 Option-Return
   <P></P>   HTML+ Paragraph     Shift-Option-Return

See the section Paragraph for related information.

HTML 2.0 Compatible Comments
When checked, uses “-->” to close comments (as per the 2.0 DTD).
When not checked, closes comments with “ >”. There seems to be some discrepancy among browsers as to what constitutes an HTML Comment. Rather than get into the fray, I thought I'd make it an option.
