These commands are always active, provided they have not been disabled by a custom MES (Mozile Editing Scheme).
Opens the debugging window.
When debugging is enabled the most recent messages are displayed first. When the debug buffer is full (250 messages) the oldest message is discarded when a new message is saved. Various levels of debugging can be set via the Mozile Options.
The Debug facility is mostly used by developers. It can be useful if you want to trace problems with an RSD configuration file, or with a custom MES.
Reloads the document with the selected MIME type.
Note that this will only work if the document is fetched from a server via HTTP, and won't work if the document is on your local disk.
Opens and closes the Markup (source-view) window.
The "Markup View" is not a true source view but the DOM converted back to markup. It is similar to how Mozile will save the document, although without taking into account the entity and other saving options. (Use the Save to Dialog option to show how the document will actually be saved.)
The following four character entities are used in the Markup textbox:
& < >
To enter extended characters use numeric not character entity references.
E.g. © instead of © for the copyright symbol ©.
The tab key will enter a tab character.
Synchronizing the update of the Browser and Markup views is relatively slow. When editing large documents it may be easier to update the views by clearing the synchronize checkbox and manually clicking the update buttons to refresh the display.
You can edit the Page markup of any document by first clicking in
the document and then updating the markup view. The content of the root element
(i.e. <html>
for XHTML documents) is shown.
To edit a single Block of code it must have been marked as editable by
Mozile in the normal way.
Shows/hides tags.
Save to Display, Local File, HTTP Post and WebDAV
Works with most commands, but not when you are editing in Markup-view.
Plain text only.
The defaults include: symbols, accented characters, Greek, and latin-1 characters.
If you know the Unicode value of any character you can also enter it directly.
