The View menu contains a submenu of Show options. You can control each of these options by selecting them to enable or disable them (items that have be enabled display with a check mark on their left). If you choose to "show" items, they appear in the WYSIWYG Editor when you open topics.
Showing items can help you work more efficiently and troubleshoot problems. For example, you may want to show paragraph markers and table gridlines when you are working inside a large table, or you can show bookmarks to determine if they are in the correct location.
Bookmarks: Bookmarks are links to a specific area within a topic. You can link to a bookmark from within the topic itself or from any other topic in your project.
Paragraph markers: Paragraphs markers are a graphic that show exactly where each new paragraph begins in an individual topic.
Table gridlines: Table gridlines are the vertical and horizontal lines that form cells in a table.
Glyphs: Glyphs are a graphic that show where text boxes and positioned text boxes are located in individual topics.
Fields: If you import files, they may contain fields. You can show the fields in order to format them in your topics or delete them. When you show fields, they display in green text.
Unknown tags: If you import files, they may contain HTML tags that the WYSIWYG Editor does not recognize. Unknown tags may cause your topics to not display properly. Showing the unknown tags can help you troubleshoot formatting or script errors.
Comments: If topics you create or files you import contain comments you can show them. (In TrueCode, comments appear within a tag that begins with an exclamation point such as <!This is a comment.>) They will display in the WYSIWYG Editor as a small graphic. If you click the graphic, the Comment Editor displays the entire comment. Reading comments can be helpful, especially if you are working on a topic that someone else created and they included important information in the comments.
