4=The 16 white fields on the color speedbar are customizable. Just click them with the right mouse button.
5=You are not sure about the meaning of one of those cryptic icons on the speedbuttons ? Hold the mouse pointer over it for a second to see a little tooltip describing the button's purpose.

30=If you have to modify code written by others and they used lowercase tags but you like them uppercase, use the 'Tools' 'Make all tags Uppercase/Lowercase' function. This option is smart enough not to touch regular text, comments, scripts and text in quotes.
