Welcome to LibPad.

LibPad is like any other text editor that supports writing HTML, except that it comes with a complete HTML reference (the HTMLib). I probably don't need to describe how to use a text editor, so all I will describe here is the HTMLib related elements of LibPad.

Context sensitive HTML element help
When writing HTML documents, help on any element described in the HTMLib is available. All you need to do is select the main element name and the starting '<' character and press the right mouse button. This will bring up a context menu, with an entry at the bottom labelled 'Help on <element>' where <element> is the element you have chosen to ask for help on. (This can also be done by selecting the element (in the same fashion) and pressing 'F2'). Note that the right-click menu item will not be available unless the selection has been made properly. For example, if you want help on the <OBJECT> element, you must select :

<OBJECT ...

selecting anything else will not enable the right-click menu item and will force display of the 'Element not found' help topic, together with a list of possible reasons.
