Inserting Tags into Your Document

 

To Insert HTML Tags and Attributes into your Document Using the HTML Property Sheet:

  1. Place your cursor in the HotDog Editor (the editing window), where you would like to insert your HTML Tags. A list of Available Tags should appear in the top panel of the HTML Property Sheet. If it doesn't then most likely the Property Sheet is still displaying the properties of another set of tags that your cursor is sitting within. If this is the case, just press <ENTER> or <RETURN> twice on your key board, then move your cursor up once to get the Available Tags list to display.

  2. Enter the HTML Property Sheet by pressing <CTRL> + < ENTER>.

  3. Using the arrow keys, scroll through the list of Available Tags, and hit <ENTER> on the tag that you wish to insert. The tag will then be inserted into the editing window. HotDog automatically returns you to the Editor, ready to insert any attributes if you need them. A list of attributes for this tag will appear in the top panel of the HTML Property Sheet. All the attributes are listed according to HTML specification and by the browsers that support them.

Tag attributes are inserted in the same way as tags.

To Insert HTML Tags and Attributes into your Document Whilst Editing:

  1. Start typing the tag you wish to insert. A list of suggestions for this tag will be displayed in the bottom panel of the HTML Property Sheet.

  2. In the Suggestions list, double-click on the tag you wish to insert.

Example - Entering the <TABLE> Tag:

  1. First, you need to have the HTML Property Sheet open. To do this, on the View menu, select Resource Manager. Then on the Resource Manager submenu, select HTML Property Sheet.

  2. Type: <t

  3. In the bottom panel, the HTML Property Sheet will short-list all tags beginning with T. Do one of the following:

  1. Press <ENTER> again to insert the <TABLE> tag into your document.

HotDog automatically returns you to the Editor, ready to insert any attributes if you need them.
