The E tag is used to define elements within a category.
In the Tag Chooser (MarkUpTags.vtm) these elements are definitions for Tags: tags are indeed called "Elements" in the HTML standards.
The elements can also be Expression Elements in the Expression Builder (ExpressionElements.vtm), in other words, things like functions, operators or constants: the "elements" that make up a programming or scripting language. See the documentation for the CAT tag for how to make these language elements more accessible by CATegorizing them.

---|---|
CAPTION | The caption of the element. |
TYPE | Function Insight: If defined, value must be "function". Use only for an element that describes a function in Expression Builder (ExpressionElements.vtm). Its presence enables Function Insight for the function defined here. |
VALUE |
Tag Chooser: This value represents the tag string pasted when the tag is selected. If a visual editor exists for the tag an incomplete tag string should be used to invoke the editor. For example, VALUE="<MYTAG"; would invoke the visual tag editor for MYTAG stored in MYTAG.VTM. Expression Builder: This value represents the syntax of the expression element to be pasted into the expression textbox. |
DESC | The contents of the HTML help for the element. Notice that the HELPFILE attribute can be used to specify the help as a separate file. |
HELPFILE | The relative path to the HTML help for the element. (HELPFILE="Docs/MyTag.htm") |
