Internal Text Editor

Shows or hides numbered lines in the text editor. This makes it easier to identify a particular line that requires editing.

example

Let's say that you edit the XHTML for a topic and forget to add an angle bracket to the end of a tag. If you save and close the text editor, you might see an error message.

You can open the file in the text editor again and quickly find the line where you need to fix the tag.

Shows or hides small minus and plus buttons next to lines with tags. These let you collapse or expand those portions of the code.

example

You might have a topic that looks like this in the Internal Text Editor:

After clicking the collapse button, it will look like this:

If you hover over the small box, a popup temporarily shows the tagged content for that section.

Shows or hides syntax coloring in the Internal Text Editor. This makes it easier to identify different parts of the file.

example

In the following image, you can see that the tags appear in brown/dark red, attributes (e.g., class, src) appear in red, and values (e.g., style names, paths to links) appear in blue.

Enables or disables word wrapping in the Internal Text Editor. This makes it much easier to see all of the words and tags in an area. Without the word wrap feature, lines in the Internal Text Editor can often be quite long and require you to use the horizontal scroll bar in order to see text not shown.

example

Here is a topic open in the Internal Text Editor, without the word wrap feature enabled:

If you click the button to enable word wrap, the topic looks as follows. Notice that all of the text can be seen. You do not need to use the horizontal scroll bar to see it all.
