-
- <p>Many commands in Amaya act on the current selection. You can make a
- selection using the keyboard or the mouse, as described below.</p>
-
- <p>No matter how you make the current selection, Amaya displays the type of
- the first selected element at the bottom of the window, followed by the types
- of the enclosing elements in the structure. This may be helpful when the
- document structure is complex.</p>
-
- <p>For example, selecting a word in this sentence means that the status bar
- reads</p>
-
- <p><samp>text \ p \ div \ body \ html</samp></p>
-
- <p>meaning that the thing selected is some text within a <code>p</code>
- element, which is within a <code>div</code> element in the <code>body</code>
- of the <code>html</code> document.</p>
-
- <p>Selecting <strong>this structure element</strong> (for example click on
- the word structure, then press <kbd>F2</kbd> gives</p>
-
- <p><samp>strong \ p \ div \ body \ html</samp></p>
