Flare 8 – XML Editor

Now that I’m getting more at home with Flare’s XML editor, and things are holding together better, and performing a lot faster, I thought it would be useful to give a run down of some the of intricacies.

The following are useful in the non-tag view:

Red control box: Appears when you highlight a section of text. Hover to expand, then left click to access the quick copy and paste menu.

Yellow control box: Appears at the start of a tag section. Hover to expand, then left click to access the advanced tag editing menu.

Tag Start: Cursor signifies the start of a xhtml tag.

Tag Middle: Cursor signifies you are within an xhtml tag and can edit the contents.

Tag End: Cursor signifies the end of a xhtml tag.

 

Tag Between: Cursor signifies you are between tags. Type to enter text into the parent tag.

 

Tag Before – Level 1: Cursor size signifies you are in the first of a series of nested tags.

Tag Before – Level 2: Cursor size signifies you are in the second of a series of nested tags.

 

Tag Before – Level 3: Cursor size signifies you are in the third of a series of nested tags.

There we have it. Hopefully these details will de-mysitfy this great little editor. I just need to talk mouse pointers now.
