This is a popUp menu that sets the size of the HTML.edit application window to either a standard screen size, or a minimized or maximized state. See also Sizing Windows.
Remember Window Location
When checked, remembers the location of the HTML.edit application window between sessions. This location is reset if HTML.edit is run on a different sized monitor.
Text Font
Allows a selection of editor text fonts and sizes, selected from the Font and Size popup menus.
Display Tool Palette When in Editor
When checked, enables automatic display of the tool palette upon entering the Editor window.
Hilight Style
This is a popUp menu that sets the hilight style to either bold or underline for use with the hilight commands such as Hilight HTML.
Report Template
This is a popUp menu that sets the Report Template for printing using the File menu's Print Text command. The choices are US Letter, US Legal, and A4 Letter.
Arrow Keys in Text
When checked, enables the cursor keys to be used to navigate within a text field rather than card-to-card.
Wrap Editor Text
When checked, automatically wraps the text within the bounds of the editor field. When unchecked, each return-delimited paragraph creates a new line. This option does not change the content of the document, only its display within HTML.edit.
Maintain Selection after Style Change
When checked, maintains the text selection after making an HTML style change. Because some HTML commands (such as list commands) intersperse tags into the text selection, this option does not work on all HTML commands.
HTML Preferences
Use SGML Prologue
When checked, inserts the SGML prologue element (see Document Structure) when choosing the Language command from the HyperText menu. When unchecked, will not add the prologue to your document.
Use Footer Delimiter
When checked, inserts the specified HTML comment (see Document Structure) to be used to separate the Body and Footer areas on import. When unchecked, will ignore the presence of the comment.
HTML Returns
HTML browsers ignore white space or non-HTML line breaks, so use <BR> to insert a line break (which retains the current HTML format) or <P> for a new paragraph. When checked, enters the line break or paragraph code whenever you type Return with a modifier key, as shown in the following table:
Code Description Type this to insert:
<BR> Line Break Shift-Return
<P> Paragraph Option-Return
<P></P> HTML+ Paragraph Shift-Option-Return
See the section Paragraph for related information.
HTML 2.0 Compatible Comments
When checked, uses “-->” to close comments (as per the 2.0 DTD).
When not checked, closes comments with “ >”. There seems to be some discrepancy among browsers as to what constitutes an HTML Comment. Rather than get into the fray, I thought I'd make it an option.
