Text View


In Text View, you can type in your document text directly, i.e. markup and content. Text View provides a number of features to help you quickly and accurately type in your document. Among the main features are the following:

 

Visual features to help you read the document more easily. These include customizable syntax-coloring (including the ability to highlight server-side VBScript or JScript code in ASP pages), line-numbering, bookmarking, expandable and collapsible elements, indentation, customizable fonts, and text-wrapping.
Intelligent editing features like auto-completion of tags and automatic entry of attributes and children.
Context-sensitive entry helpers, which list allowed elements, attributes, and entities at the cursor insertion point, and allow you to insert these into the document.
Drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste capabilities.

 

These features are described in more detail in the rest of this section.
