19.1 Text View

19.1.1 Overview

The Text View module handles three basic editing functions: plain text editing as a word processor; code editing for HTML (Code View); and, program editing for scripts, general data, XML and PHP.

Behavior of the view changes depending on the file type. Popup menus and other information will be adjusted as a file is opened to accommodate the file type. For example, an HTML file will have HTML functions in the popup/context menu while an text file will have alignment and other text tools in the menu.

Regardless of their personality, a Text View view is normally paired with another Text View or a Page View:

Each view will have its own Edit Object (positions and select) and share the same Mapped Text Object and Edit File (if opened from a file).
