When checked, inserts an SGML declaration (see Document Structure) when choosing the Language command from the HyperText menu. When unchecked, will not add the declaration to your document.
Note that the contents of the popUp menu are modifiable. The last item of the popUp menu shows or hides the popUp menu contents field. The SGML Declaration table is a simple list, each line containing two items:
Prologue Name,<prologue>
List items beginning with "#" or "--" are ignored as comments; items beginning with "(" are displayed on the menu as disabled menu items.
Use Footer Delimiter
When checked, inserts the specified HTML comment (see Document Structure) to be used to separate the Body and Footer areas on import. When unchecked, will ignore the presence of the comment.
HTML Returns
HTML browsers ignore white space or non-HTML line breaks, so use <BR> to insert a line break (which retains the current HTML format) or <P> for a new paragraph. When checked, enters the line break or paragraph code whenever you type Return with a modifier key, as shown in the following table:
Code Description Type this to insert:
<BR> Line Break Shift-Return
<P> Paragraph Option-Return
<P></P> HTML+ Paragraph Shift-Option-Return
See the section Paragraph for related information.
Translate ALT Entities
When checked, instances of ampersands, less than, greater than or double quotes in the text included as content for the ALT attribute on image elements will be translated to character entities. This displays improperly on some browsers, but is recommended HTML 2.0 practice.
Use Full Path on TouchLinkΓäó
When checked, always uses an absolute (full) URL when creating links using TouchLinkΓäó. When unchecked, attempts to build a relative URL from the known relative locations of the server folder and the document location (ie., path). Note that when building a relative URL fails, an absolute URL will be used.
Physical, Semantic and Custom Style Tables
The set of HTML style elements available from the Style menu is modifiable. The Physical, Semantic and Custom Style tables are simple lists, each line containing three items:
Style Name,<Opening Tag>,</Closing Tag>
Be sure each line has three items. For example:
Emphasis,<EM>,</EM>
Note that if either the opening or closing tag is left empty in the table entry, HTML.edit will still insert the remaining tag, as in:
Line Break,,<BR>
This would add a <BR> tag after the current selection.
