The HyperText menu contains three commands and five hierarchical submenus, divided into sections as follows:
Structure
The Structure submenu contains commands related to the overall SGML/HTML structure of your document.
Format
The Format submenu contains commands that modify a section of text by placing it into a specific construct, such as various types of lists, menus, directories, glossaries, etc., as apart from logical or physical character (ie., font) formatting such as Emphasis or Bold.
Image
Choosing the Image... command displays the Image Utility, which assists in creation of image tags.
Note that the HTML code describing a thumbnail image which clicks to a full size image is:
The Entity submenu contains commands related to the entry, conversion and reconversion of HTML special character entities, such as ΓÇó, ΓÇó, ΓÇó, &, <, >, etc.
Comment
To add non-displayed comments to an HTML document, use a comment element. An HTML comment is structured as a block which may contain one or more comments. The comment block begins with "<!" and ends with ">", each comment beginning and ending with a double dash. For example:
<!-- Id: ISBN 0-8048-0644-6 1985/03/22 15:30:00 --
-- This document contains all text of the proposed manuscript. --
-- M. Roth and C. Tuttle have done some minor editing. -->
or
<!-- This is a simple comment. -->
To comment a selection of text, choose the Comment command from the HyperText menu or type Command-"ΓÇô" (minus).
Note that some early implementations of HTML mistakenly considered any ">" character as closing a comment.
Uncomment
To uncomment (ie., unhide) a selection of text, choose the Uncomment command from the HyperText menu or type Command-"+" (plus). Note that the first four characters of the selection must be "<!--" and the last three "-->" for this command to function.
Choosing the Index HTML command and a specific HTML format returns a list of all occurrences of that format within the document. To close the Index list, click on its close box. Alternately, the Hilight HTML command hilights (bold or underline) specific instances of an HTML format within the current document.
Note that formats related directly to physical (AKA typographic) or semantic (AKA idiomatic) style are found under the Font menu (the "A " palette button).
Back to Utility menu, on to Anchor menu, or return to Tool Palette Menus.
