Toggling the binary format

You can toggle the binary tag format on and off using the Outline toolbar. This allows you to determine whether a new tag has a complementary end tag or not.

Most HTML tags are binary tags, or container tags. Binary tags enclose their content in a pair of tags, called start and end or open and close tags. A few tags, however, do not need an end tag; these are called unary tags. One of the most frequently used unary tags is the IMG tag for embedding images.

To toggle the binary format on and off:

1 In the document window Outline view, select a binary HTML tag.

2 Click the Toggle Binary button () in the Outline toolbar. By default, both halves of a binary HTML tag are displayed. This command changes only the currently selected tag.
