File Types Tab
This is where you can change general and miscellaneous options that affect how HTML Validator's integrated editor works with different file types.
Enable Syntax Highlighting Options
Check each file type that you want to enable syntax highlighting for. Syntax highlighting makes files easier to work with by highlighting specific parts of them in different colors. All file types are checked by default.
NOTE: In order to use syntax highlighting for a particular file type:
- HTML Validator must be able to recognize that a file is of a type that it knows how to syntax highlight. This is normally done by looking at the file's extension.
- Syntax highlighting for the specific file type must be enabled.
- Global syntax highlighting must be enabled from the Options Menu.
File Type Extensions
This section lists the different extensions for the different file types that HTML Validator recognizes. The extensions are separated by commas. To add an extension, simple add the extension to the appropriate extension list, separating it from the other extensions by using a comma.
- If a file has no extension, assume that it is of type - If you will be working with files that do not have an extension, you can tell HTML Validator to assume that they are of a certain type by specifying the type here. By specifying a type here, HTML Validator will never warn you that a file with no extension is an unrecognized file type. In addition, files with no extension will be recognized as the selected file type, causing syntax highlighting to work if enabled.
Other Text Edit Options
- Default file extension - If a file is saved with no extension by using the save or save as dialog box, then the default extension specified here is added automatically. Do not include the period in the extension. The default is "html".
