Using tags in text files

In this section, we will discuss inserting tags from the Palette into our text files. This is a very simple task that consists of the following steps:

  1. Navigate through the Palette until you see the tag that will be inserted.
  2. Click on this tag as you click on any button.
  3. If the tag has attributes, then you will see the Insert Tag window that allows you to customize the values of these attributes (the following screenshot represents the Insert Tag window for the <table> tag that can be found in HTML group, Table tag library). Note that if the selected tag doesn't have any attributes to be set, then this step will be skipped and the tag will be inserted into your page.

  4. After you have set the values of the attributes, simply click the Finish button. This action will automatically insert the chosen tag into your page. For example, in the following screenshot you can see the effect of inserting the <mytable> tag, created in the Create a new tag section, into an empty HTML page.
    Using tags in text files

If you followed Chapter 2, then now you should have an empty project named test. Expand the test | WebContent node, right-click on it, and select New | Other option. In the New window, expand Web node and select HTML leaf. Type example (without the .html extension) in the File name field and click on the Finish button. Now, you have the shown example.html page and you can try to add our tag to it. Also, you can play with other tags to get used to them! In the following chapters this will be no more a task, it will simply be routine.
