Toggle Full Screen
Whenever you need to expand the HTML Editor 4 editable region in order to manipulate content more efficiently, click the Toggle Full Screen button from the toolbar. It will enlarge the HTML Editor 4 area and make it as big as your screen.
Bulleted List
If you select several paragraphs and then click the Bulleted List button from the toolbar, HTML Editor 4 will insert a bullet at the beginning of each paragraph. If at the end of a bulleted paragraph you hit the "Enter" key, the new paragraph will begin with a bullet.
After clicking the Bulleted List button, it will remain active until the list is unset or until you move on to a not-bulleted paragraph. To unset a bulleted list, select it and then click the same button to deactivate the style. To move on and end the bulleted list, press Enter twice after the last element in the list. To check if a paragraph or a list presents the Bulleted List style, place the cursor inside that certain paragraph or select it, and check if the Bulleted List button is activated.
When the “Tab” key is pressed while the cursor is inside a bulleted paragraph, that paragraph is indented and the bullets change their shape.
Note: In Mozilla only, if you apply a bulleted list to each paragraph separately, the spacing will increase, compared to the situation when the bulleted list is applied to all selected paragraphs at once.
Numbered List
If you select several paragraphs and then click the Numbered List button from the toolbar, HTML Editor 4 will insert a number at the beginning of each paragraph, in ascending order. If at the end of a numbered paragraph you hit the "Enter" key, the new paragraph will begin with a number as well.
After clicking the Numbered List button, it will remain active until the list is unset or until you move on to a not-numbered paragraph. To unset a numbered list, select it and then click the same button to deactivate the style. To move on and end the numbered list, press Enter twice after the last element in the list. To check if a paragraph or a list presents the Numbered List style, place the cursor inside that certain paragraph or select it, and check if the Numbered List button is activated.
If you place the cursor inside a certain numbered paragraph (not the last one) and deactivate the Numbered List button, that paragraph will no longer be preceded by a number. A new list will start right below it. The numbering is reset and the following paragraph's number (the first paragraph in the new list) is set to 1.
When the Tab key is pressed while:
- the cursor is inside a numbered paragraph -- the paragraph is indented and its number will become 1. The number of the following paragraph is decremented by 1. This way, you can obtain nested lists.
- having several paragraphs selected -- they will be indented, and a nested list will be created (that starts numbering with 1). In the main list, the paragraphs that follow the nested list will have their associated numbers decreased.
Note: In Mozilla only, if you apply a numbered list to each paragraph separately (instead of applying it to a selection of several paragraphs), the numbering will be reset each time (i.e. each paragraph number is set to 1).
Clean HTML Code
When inserting one or more paragraphs already formatted with another word processor (e.g. Microsoft Word or OpenOffice), the size of the HTML code could considerably increase. This phenomenon is due to the export methods used by the two applications that insert into the HTML code many and mostly useless HTML tags. With HTML Editor 4 you can clean-up the code of these tags by using the Clean HTML Code button and then use the HTML Editor 4 format functions:
- Clean Word Markup - it removes all the unnecessary Microsoft Word tags.
- Clean Inline Styles - it removes all the CSS styles.
- Clean All Formatting Tags - it replaces the following tags: <H1>, <H2>, <H3>, <H4>, <H5>, <H6>, <ADDRESS>, <PRE> with the <p> (paragraph) tag.
The clean-up process affects the current selection or the entire page if no selection was made. The result is a cleaner and more accurate code.
Text Color
The Text Color button allows you to set a certain text color (foreground color). The button has two areas:
- Click the icon on the left to use the currently selected text color (it is shown by the horizontal bar in the lower part of the icon).
- By clicking the arrow on the right, the Color Picker window will be displayed allowing you to select a color for your text.
The effect will be applied to the selected text and to the one entered after setting the foreground color. To change the color, select the text, click the Text Color button and choose a more convenient color from the Color Picker.
Note: You can define yourself the colors displayed in the Color Picker in a configuration file. The default colors are those from the Web safe color palette (216 colors) and some gray shades. Read more about this in the API documentation.
Highlight
The Highlight button allows you to set a certain highlight color (background color). The button has two areas:
- Click the icon on the left to use the currently selected highlight color (it is shown by the horizontal bar in the lower part of the icon).
- By clicking the arrow on the right, the Color Picker window will be displayed allowing you to select a highlight color for your text.
The effect will be applied to the selected text and to the one entered after setting the background color. To change the color, select the text, click the Highlight button and choose a more convenient color from the Color Picker.
Note: You can define yourself the colors displayed in the Color Picker in a configuration file. The default colors are those from the Web safe color palette (216 colors) and some gray shades. Read more about this in the API documentation.
Color Picker
The Color Picker is a matrix that presents a large range of colors from which you can choose, but it also offers the possibility of entering the hexadecimal code for a precise, preferred color. The Color Picker interface includes the following elements:
- Color Code text box: when you launch the Color Picker window, this text box will display the code of the previously selected color. Once you select a new color, the displayed code will change. Also, you can enter the hexadecimal code yourself.
- Mouse-over display item: when you move the mouse above the color matrix, the color that has the mouse over it will be displayed (as well as its code) in a larger rectangle in this display item.
- Selected display item: once you select a color in the matrix, its appearance will be shown in this display item.
- OK button: apply the chosen color to your selection by clicking this button.
- Cancel button: cancel any color selection by clicking this button.
- Help button: open the contextual help window.
Cut
In order to cut the selected image or text from its context, click the Cut button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+X. To cut the selected image/text means to remove it from the document and place it into the Clipboard, from where it can be pasted into either the HTML Editor 4 editable region or another editor.
Note: In Mozilla, the Cut command is not accessible from the toolbar, but only by using the keyboard shortcut.
Copy
In order to copy the selected image or text, click the Copy button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+C. After executing this command, the selected image/text is copied to the Clipboard, from where it can be pasted into either the HTML Editor 4 editable region or another editor.
Note: In Mozilla, the Copy command is not accessible from the toolbar, but only by using the keyboard shortcut.
Paste
This command is to be applied after a previous Cut or Copy operation. The image/text stored in the clipboard is then placed into the HTML Editor 4 editable region, in the current pointer position or replacing the already selected image/text (if there is any). This command is accessible through the Paste button from the toolbar or by using the shortcut keys Ctrl+V.
Note: In Mozilla, the Paste command is not accessible from the toolbar, but only by using the keyboard shortcut.
Change Font
The HTML Editor 4 editor allows you to change the font for your text by selecting the desired one from the Font drop-down menu available in the toolbar. The default font style is "Times New Roman, Times, serif" or " Verdana, Helvetica".
The autoselection of the current font is a feature that allows you to easily find out what font a particular word or text has just by selecting it or by positioning the cursor inside it. If a text section with more than one font applied (on different words) is selected, a font will no longer be displayed in the drop-down menu. When changing the font for the selection that has multiple fonts applied, the whole text will be set to have the new selected font.
When a CSS style containing references to new fonts is imported into the document, those new styles will appear in the drop-down menu.
Note: You can define yourself the font list in a configuration file. There is a default font list defined in case you make no changes in the configuration file. Read more about this in the API documentation.
Change Font Size
The font size can be changed by selecting the desired size from the Size drop-down menu available in the toolbar. The size change affects the selected text or the text entered afterwards, if no text selection has been made. By default, the text size is set to 14 pixels. The text sizes are similar to the ones used by the most common word processors (Microsoft Word, OpenOffice).
The current font size will be autoselected from the drop-down menu. To see what size a specific text is, simply select the text or click inside it, and then check out the font size drop-down menu. However, if a text selection has more than one font size applied, a certain size will no longer be displayed in the drop-down menu.
When changing the size of a text selection that has multiple sizes applied, they will all be replaced by the new size.
Horizontal Rule
By pressing this button, you can insert a horizontal line into the document at the point where the cursor is. It will help you visually separate elements.
Apply CSS Styles
The Style drop-down menu displays the available Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) styles from which you can choose to implement styling in HTML. The CSS styles can be applied to any type of selection (text, image, table). If you want to set or change the CSS style for a certain text, you can either select it or place the cursor inside it (if it's a whole paragraph that you want to format), and then choose a CSS style from the drop-down menu in the toolbar.
If you place the cursor inside a paragraph that has CSS styles applied to only certain parts of it, and then select a style from the drop-down menu, the CSS style will be set for all the words in the paragraph, except for the ones that already had a style defined.
If you place the cursor inside a word from a paragraph, and that word has a CSS style set (style A), if you apply a new style (style B), all the words in that paragraph that were formatted with style A will switch to style B now (all these words were included in the same CSS style tag - a SPAN tag). This is a very useful feature because the user doesn't have to spend time making text selections and identifying styles.
Tip: In order to obtain good results, apply CSS styles to your text in an accurate manner, rather than making repeated text selections and changing the style several times. This method is not recommended, especially when using the Mozilla browser, because the HTML code will get too complicated and the visual results will not always be the expected ones. To manage the CSS styles correctly, also use the Tag Selector in order to easily select and remove some SPAN tags (corresponding to already set CSS styles) from the code.
Increase Indent
By pressing the Increase Indent button from the toolbar or the Tab key, the indentation function is called. It increases the distance between the current paragraph (the selected one or the one where the cursor is placed) and the left page margin.
Each time you click the Increase Indent button, the left margin will increase.
Decrease Indent
This command executes the exact reverse operation of the Increase Indent one. It can be applied only if an Increase Indent command was executed before-hand. Its role is to decrease the left margin each time you click the Decrease Indent button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Shift+Tab.
Remember it only functions if the paragraph was already indented (once, twice, or as many times as you plan to click the Decrease Indent button).
Browse for Documents
You can upload and/or insert documents into your web pages by using the Link to Document button. When clicking this button, a pop-up window (Remote File Explorer) is displayed and helps you select the desired file to insert from the remote server, or upload a new one from your local machine. Before inserting a document file into the HTML Editor 4 editable area, it has to be previously uploaded on the remote server.
When you insert a document, a link with its name will be included in your page where the cursor was placed. By clicking the link, the document from the remote server will be opened. Even if some document links are deleted from the site pages, their corresponding files will remain on the remote server until you delete them from the upload folder.
Browse for Templates
You can upload and/or insert templates (.htm or .html) into your web pages by using the Content Template button. When clicking this button, a pop-up window (Remote File Explorer) is displayed and helps you select the desired file to insert from the remote server, or upload a new one from your local machine. Before inserting a template file into the HTML Editor 4 editable area, it has to be previously uploaded on the remote server.
You can create your own templates in HTML Editor by putting together a design in the visual editor. Then select it all, right-click, choose the Save as Template option, and then name the new file (the accepted extensions are htm and html). It will be saved on the remote server, in a folder of choice.
Insert Special Character
The Special Character button allows you to insert a special character in page when the keyboard does not come at hand. The button has two areas:
- Click the icon on the left to use the currently selected character (shown by the icon).
- By clicking the arrow on the right, the Character Picker window will be displayed allowing you to select the character that you need. It displays a matrix of characters from which you can choose.
Note: You can define yourself the special characters list displayed in the matrix in a configuration file. There is a default character list defined in case you make no changes in the configuration file. Read more about this in the API documentation.
Character Picker
The Character Picker is a window that presents a vast matrix of special characters. This interface includes the following elements:
- Selected display item: once you select an element in the matrix, its symbol will be shown in this display item (in larger size).
- Insert button: insert the selected character in your page by clicking this button.
- Cancel button: cancel any character selection or insertion in your page by clicking this button.
- Help button: open the contextual help window.
Insert Link / Hyperlink Picker
In order to easily insert links (of various types) in your page, use the Link / Hyperlink Picker button from the toolbar. The button has two areas on which you can click: the button icon (image) and the arrow on the right. You can link your page to other site pages, to external sites, to downloadable files or to an anchor (within the same page or in another site page).
- If you click the button icon, a window will pop-up requiring you to enter the URL for the link. Once you fill it in, click OK and the link will be inserted in page. If no selection (text, image) had been made before you clicked this button, the specified URL will be inserted in page as a link. If a selection had been made, it will become link to the entered URL.
Note: If you want to create a link to an anchor in the same page, simply enter "#" followed by the anchor name in the URL text box. If the anchor is not in the same page, enter "#" and the anchor name after specifying the URL.
- If you click the arrow on the right, a drop-down menu will show. On the first row, enter a piece of text (at least one letter) of interest for the link you want to insert. Depending on your input, the list of options below varies (the options contain in their name the entered text). By selecting one of them, a link to that URL, and with the name displayed in the drop-down menu (if no selection had been made), will be automatically inserted in your page. If a selection had been made, it will become link to the selected URL.
Note: The list of options is created by the developer and it facilitates the users' effort when inserting links in that site's pages.
You can also insert a link by making a selection in page (text, image), and then using the shortcut keys Ctrl+K. The selection will become a link, and you can enter its URL in the Link Properties panel that automatically opens when pressing those keys.
Insert Anchor
By clicking this button, you can insert an anchor in your page (the equivalent of a 'bookmark' in Microsoft Word) right where the cursor is placed or right before the selected image/text. After clicking the Anchor button, you will be prompted to type a name for the anchor. The name will be needed when a link to that anchor is created.
An anchor is used to specifically localize a certain place in the page, place to which you can link later on words or images. This type of links redirects the visitor to another section of the same web page. A symbol (glyph) will be displayed to show you where anchors are created in page.
Insert Table
You can insert a table in your page by clicking the Table / Insert 2x2 Table button from the toolbar. The button has two areas:
- If you click the button icon (its tooltip is Insert 2x2 Table) for the first time in the current session, a 2x2 table will be inserted in page. If you click it later on, after already including tables in page, the table that will be inserted will have the same dimensions as the one included last in page.
- If you click the arrow on the right (at first, its tooltip is Table - later on, it will display the dimensions of the table last inserted in page), the visual row/cell selector will be displayed. By moving the mouse cursor up and down / to the right and to the left in the expandable window that pops-up, you can modify the default dimensions (2x2) and insert a table of the needed size.
Through the Table, Row and Cell Properties panels you can set a lot more options for the table.

Center
In order to apply the centered alignment style to your selected paragraph(s), click the Center button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+Shift+E. Just like when using common word processors, the selected paragraph(s) will be aligned equally-distanced from the left and right margins of the page (in the center of the page).
Note: If you want to apply the centered alignment to only one paragraph, you do not have to select it, but only click inside it and then press the Center button from the toolbar.
Align Right
In order to apply the right alignment style to your selected paragraph(s), click the Align Right button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+Shift+R. Just like when using common word processors, the selected paragraph(s) will be aligned to the right margin of the page.

Show Code/Design
Since HTML Editor 4 is a WYSIWYG text editor for HTML documents, it was important to implement a function that would allow toggling the edit modes. Advanced users benefit from this as they can edit the document in the HTML format as well.
The HTML Editor 4 editor has two editing modes, between which you can switch by clicking the Show Code/Design button from the toolbar:
- Design view: a text editor displaying the final result.
- Code view: the HTML editor.
Show/Hide Invisible Elements
In many situations, setting the table border to 0 (to make it invisible) may be needed. HTML Editor 4 allows you to view table borders (for further editing) even when they are set to invisible. Showing invisible elements allows you to organize data in a tabular manner, while respecting certain design rules. Just press the Show/Hide Invisible Elements button from the toolbar.
Undo
In order to return to the previous state of your page (just before the last modification), click the Undo button from the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+Z. HTML Editor 4 allows you to undo the last 50 changes made.
