Options - 'General  Options' Tab


Skip files without <HTML> Tag inside
This will force Pretty HTML, to reject all files without a <HTML> tag inside.
This is especially useful for MS-Frontpage users. This ensures that HTML Files inside of ‘_vti_cnf‘ directories will be ignored.
(Note: not part of a style)

Create backup files
Disables generating backup files. Be careful with this option!
(Note: not part of a style)

Backup file extension
Type in a new one, if you don’t like ".pbak".
(Note: not part of a style)
(Note: If you choose a new one, Restore will not recognize backup files with another e.g. previous used extension!)

Purge comments in compressed files
Is only considered if you compress your files. All selfwritten comments   (<!--...-->) in your html files will be purged. Auto Comments will always be purged in compressed files.

(Note: scripts will never be purged!)
(Note: If you use SSI‘s or webbots, do not enable this option)

No linebreak between ‘<‘ and ‘>‘
The result of checking this option is, that a linebreak inside of a tag will never be done.
e.g. <IMG SRC="c:\windows\my_long_picture_name_without_any_sense.gif" width="100" ...>
(Note: Anyway, if unchecked, linebreaks in between quotes will never occure!)

Tag’s in lowercase – uppercase - unchanged
Will convert tag names in the selected case. E.g. <Body> to <BODY>

Textblock linesize
Preferred maximum number of characters of a single line in textblocks (60-500 characters).

Indent stepsize
Number of blanks used for line indents (0-12 characters).
(Note: If you set this value to zero, each line in your file, will be left justified after formatting)

Disable all auto-comments
No automatic comments will be generated. This overrules all special tag comment settings!. It’s a comfortable method to quickly disable auto comments, without the need to change tag properties one by one.
