- File Menu
-
- This menu performs actions such as opening and saving files. HTMLed allows
- you to save files in either MS-DOS or UNIX format. MS-DOS text files have
- a CR-LF (carriage return & line feed) pair at the end of each line. UNIX
- text files have only a line feed character. When opening a file, HTMLed will
- attempt to determine which type of file it is, and open it in the appropriate
- mode. Also on the file menu is an option to save a file as plain text, without
- any HTML tags. The option to "Test HTML Document" will launch a program
- (such as NCSA Mosaic) and pass the current file name to the program as a
- command-line parameter. The path to this program must be configured in the
- Options|Setup dialog box.
-
- Edit Menu
-
- This menu contains options to select, cut, and paste text within and between
- documents, using the Windows Clipboard so you can cut and paste to other
- applications. The "Remove HTML Tags" option allows you to select a block of
- text and remove all the HTML tags from the selected text.
-
- Search Menu
-
- This menu contains options to search and replace text in a document.
- The "Intelligent Tag Insert" allows you to insert text at the start,
- end, or both the start and end of lines in an HTML document. You can
- select the lines to be affected by specifying a string that is either
- at the beginning or end, or that is contained in a line. For example,
- you could insert <H1> and </H1> at the beginning and end of every line
- that ends with a colon (":").
-
- Example:
-
- Original text is
-
- Some heading:
- Blah blah blah...
- ...
- ...
-
- Some other heading:
- Blah blah blah again...
- ...
- ...
-
- After Intelligent Tag insert
-
- <H1>Some heading:</H1>
-
- Blah blah blah...
- ...
- ...
-
- <H1>Some other heading:</H1>
-
- Blah blah blah again...
- ...
- ...
-
-
- Element Menu
-
- The items on this menu insert various HTML markup tags in the document.
- Note that some tags, such as TITLE are 'containers', which means that
- they are 'wrapped' around the text to which they apply. For this type of,
- tag, you should first select the text you want to be in the container, and
- then select the menu option (or button or shortcut key). Other tags
- are single tags and will be inserted at the current cursor position.
-
- List Menu
-
- These items will create various types of lists from the selected text.
- HTMLed will operate on the selected text in the following manner:
- If there is no whitespace at the beginning of a line, a <LI> tag will
- be inserted. If there is whitespace, it will be assumed that this
- line is part of the previous list item.
-
- Link Menu
-
- These options pop up dialog boxes so you can enter the appropriate
- information to create links to HTML documents and images.
-
- Style Menu
-
- These menu items allow you to format text in various styles. Select the text
- you wish to format and then select the desired style.
-
- Entity Menu
-
- HTML entities are representations of special characters, such as ">" (without
- the quotes) which is a greater-than sign (">"). Entities are also used for other special
- characters such as foreign characters which are not part of the standard 7-bit ASCII
- character set. The "Make Acute", "Make Circumflex", etc. items allow you to select a
- character and then add an accent to it. HTMLed will only allow you to add accents to
- create characters which are valid in HTML.
-
-
- Options Menu
-
- The Options menu gives access to the Setup dialog, where configuration options for HTMLed
- are set, and also to the custom toolbar setup dialog. This dialog box is used to configure the
- custom toolbar. There are also items which toggle between displaying and not displaying the
- four different floating toolbars. "Convert mosaic.ini to HTML file" will take the URLs in
- NCSA Mosaic's .INI file and produce an HTML page containing them.
-
-
- Window Menu
-
- This menu contains options for tiling and cascading open windows. A list of currently open windows
- in HTMLed is also on this menu.
