This tab is not displayed if the "Show HTML Features" has been unchecked!

HTML File Extensions: This list is used by NoteTab Pro to identify which documents require HTML tag highlighting when this feature is enabled. If a document has an extension that matches one of the entries, then highlighting is performed. Dragging file names from the Quick List will also automatically insert the appropriate HREF or IMG tag. Use the Add button to insert new extensions and the Delete button to remove the selected item.

Server Name and Physical Path: These fields enable previewing of Web pages, such as ASP and Cold Fusion, through a local Web server (e.g. MS Personal Web Server). The relevant fields are "Server Name" (e.g. localhost) and "Physical Path" (e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\html
). When these fields are set, any file under the Physical Path will be displayed through the local Web server. Based on the example values, the following file name:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\html\index.asp  
is converted to:
http://localhost/index.asp  
when sent for previewing to the browser.

Highlight HTML Tags: When enabled, any document with an HTML extension (listed in the HTML File Extensions list) will highlight HTML tags. Turning this option off will increase the speed of screen updating (only noticeable on slower systems). If the default extension (see File Filters tab) corresponds to an HTML extension, then new documents will also automatically highlight HTML tags. This setting is only available in NoteTab Pro.

Create XHTML Tags: When checked, produces tags based on the W3C recommendations for XHTML.

Create Uppercase Tags: When checked, produces tags with element and attribute names in uppercase. When unchecked, they are rendered in lowercase. When grayed, case is not modified (useful when dealing with XML files).

Create Lowercase URLs: Uncheck this option if you want NoteTab to preserve the character case of URLs inserted into HTML documents. When checked, URLs are converted to lowercase.
