Lowercase all inserted tags |
Tag Editors and Tag Inspector insert all lowercase code in the editor. To convert tags to lowercase in existing documents you can open the document, select Edit > Convert Tag Case, and select the lowercase option. |
Always insert colors as hexadecimal values |
Tag Editors and Tag Inspector insert a RGB value like C0C0C0 and 008080 instead of "Silver" and "Teal" . Different browsers interpret the names of colors differently, but if you use RGB values, the same color appears in every browser. |
Force filenames to lowercase when inserting links |
When dragging a file to the editor, the inserted link contains a lowercased filename. For example, if you drag ABCs.htm to the editor, the following code is inserted:<a href="abcs.htm">ABC's</a> Note that this option can cause links to break on UNIX machines. |
When editing tags, return the output on a single line |
Tag Editors insert the code on a single, non-wrapping line in the editor. |
Include closing </p> when inserting paragraph tag |
The Paragraph button on the Common Quickbar inserts <p></p> instead of just <p> .Note that even if you clear this option, by default, Tag Completion inserts </p> after you type <p> . To disable this too, open the Options > Settings > Editor > Tag Completion pane and delete the P tag from the list. |

Tag Editors do not insert the tag unless every required attribute is completed for the tag. |

The Italic button on the Font Quickbar inserts <em></em> instead of <i></i> . |
