OK. 2 browse buttons are disabled. Those are used later for
searching for files. No good while creating a new tag. The
top one is enabled .... go ahead, press it, nothing will break :)
That just expands the window out to show you other things.
The Constants list box is a list of known constants and the
Tag Classes lists the known Tag Classes ... pretty helpfull sometimes.
When not needed, you don't need to look at them :)
Ok, back to work:
Tag Name - this is the name you give your tag
its also the name that will be in the menu
To the right is the Tag Class. It will default to the top Tag Class
Thats why it says Basic ... Its for simple tags like
< BR >
Just your basic tag.
Prefix code - This is where you place your custom tag.
Examine a Link tag to see why I call it a prefix. Or a Center Text.
< CENTER >Some Text< /CENTER >
prefix default text suffix ........ got it?
Prompt1 is a reminder to yourself what the default text is for
Prompt2 is for longer tags that are in 2 parts, such as Links
Default2
End Tag could be for any code you might need ....
like an extra
after some tags .... Or for searious fun,
examine the Frame tags ....
There are 3 check boxes. These are for controlling how your tag
is displayed in source code. Has no real effect on the finished
website. The third one MAY have an impact ... see below
If the first 2 checkboxes are checked, each line you use
to describe your tag will take up one line in the text file for your
HTML code.
If just the HTML code is checked, after each HTML
code, the next code will start on a new line.
If just the TEXT checkbox is checked, your user code will be placed
after the HTML code and the next HTML code will be on a new line.
The third one (use short file names" determine if your pages use full
filenames (not recommended as the website will not have the same path)
or short filename (reduced or shortend path information). These would
be relative paths that would work either on the PC or the Web.
*****************************************************************
OK - confirm this is what you want ....
No matter which menu you press, this dialog will pop up
and display current settings. Not all options will be enabled ...
EDIT- if you are looking at a Tag and need to change something,
the EDIT button will enable all buttons (except browse). It will
also cancel any deletion/insertion ...
Cancel - Closes the dialog without changing.
************************************************************************
Special codes:
/ if "/" is used as default text, all by itself, a new line is inserted
into the editor. A newline is also inserted after a
Class Type = Constant
This is a special class, and is not a Tag. Use this class to add new
constants you might need. Example: WHITE or _SELF .....
Place the new constant as the Tag Name and Constant as the
class name, then OK ... it will be updated.
If you set both the prompt messages to blank (empty text),
the tag will insert without issuing a prompt message. Usefull for
inserting < BR > with a rightclick.
