HTML Editor Tab

Plucker Desktop comes with a built-in HTML editor. Select Use The application's built-in HTML editor to use the built-in editor, or choose Use an external HTML editor to specify your own.

Power user tip: If you are on a POSIX system and you want to edit using a terminal editor, then depending on your window manager, you probably need to prefix it with xterm. For example to edit the file in vim: xterm -e vim

Power user tip: If want to lanch a complex set of arguments to an external editor, you can specify the filename with a plkrFILE in the command string. For example: entering emacs plkrFILE -arg1 -arg2 in the external editor will execute emacs myfile.html -arg1 -arg2 when you want to edit myfile.html. (If no plkrFILE is found, it is just is tacked onto the end of the command string).

The built-in HTML editor has several options to customize its function:

• Toolbar complexity: You can choose either a basic toolbar or an advanced toolbar. The basic toolbar only shows a single button, "Insert new hyperlink...", which is used to add a new link to your page. The advanced toolbar has the full complement of tags which Plucker supports.
• Insert linefeeds after text generated by toolbar buttons: If this checkbox is checked, then a carriage return will be inserted into the source code at the end of tags generated by toolbar buttons. If not checked, no line returns will be automatically inserted.

For details on the HTML editor see Editor Dialog.
