Footer

The Footer area is one method used to simplify adding some common text and hot links to the bottom of a group of documents. The Footer area is concatenated to the Header and Body areas on export. Just as with Master Headers, you may save to or insert from any of the Master Footers, which can be used to define a set of standardized document footers.

Another method of inserting standardized text is the use of Custom Entities. Up to ten custom entities may be associated with specific documents, master headers or footers, and inserted into your document when exported from HTML.edit. Check the Utility menu Help for more information.

An option in HTML.edit is to use a [customizable] HTML comment <!--FOOT--> to separate the Body and Footer areas, to allow for automatic separation of the Footer area on import into the editor.

Regardless of whether or not you use the footer separator, all of your document's text should be placed between the opening and closing <BODY></BODY> tags. While some browsers are more forgiving, text after the closing </BODY> tag may be ignored. See Document Structure for more information on correct HTML structure.

From the Footer popup menu you can Save As and Insert from any of the Master Footers. You can use the Footer Utility to set up the master footer text, allowing definition of up to five people with associated URLs for defining author and curator credit lines, and automatic insertion of "last modified" date. Formatting of Master Footers is done from the Master Footers card.
