Import/Export Preferences

Convert LF to CR on Import
When checked, converts all instances of linefeed characters (ASCII 10) to return characters (ASCII 13) on imported documents. If the line breaks in your imported document are a linefeed+return combination, leaving this option checked will add an extra return character at the end of each line. In this case I recommend leaving this option unchecked and using the Add/Strip Linefeeds command found on the Utility menu. See also the Import and Replace commands.

Always Parse HTML on Import
If the imported document contains either a pair of Header tags or a </BODY> tag, you will be asked to move the HTML language tag <HTML> and header contents to the Header area, and everything after the closing </BODY> tag to the footer area. If these tags do not exist in the original document, all imported text will be left in the Body.

If errors are found, error notices will inform you of any missing elements of a pair, and the process will exit. Note that error checking does not check for multiple occurrences, only the existence of at least one set of HTML tags. This may cause the parser to misinterpret the code and produce unpredictable results.

If the imported document contains a Footer Delimiter (typically the HTML comment “<!--FOOT >”, as defined in the Footer Delimiter field under Editor Preferences), the Footer Delimiter and all text following it will be transferred to the Footer area.

Translate Export String on Export
When checked, automatically translates imbedded export strings into the current date or time as indicated by the code. When unchecked, leaves the imbedded code in the document.

See also the Insert Export String command under the HyperText menu.

File Creator
A popUp menu that sets the application creator for exported files.
