2 If you do not want to search a namespace at all, clear the Enabled option for it.
3 If you want the current document’s type to receive the highest priority regardless
of the precedence set in this pane, select Current document’s namespace receives
highest priority.
For information about how a document’s namespace is determined, see “How a
language is detected” on page 99.
4 If you need the namespace to be treated as an XML application; for example, to
disallow minimized boolean attributes such as
<dl compact> (instead of <dl
compact="compact">
), then select the XML Based check box for the namespace.
5 Click Apply.
You can click Reset to Defaults at any time to reset the list to its default values.
Editing tag definitions
You can change a tag’s definition from Tag Inspector, but the preferred method for
changing a tag definition is to edit the VTM file directly, using VTML tag editors.
For more information about creating or modifying tag editors, see “Creating a tag
definition file” on page 202.
To edit a tag definition using a VTML tag editor:
1 Open the VTM file from the appropriate language folder in \Extensions\TagDefs.
2 Right-click a tag, and select Edit Tag to change its attributes and values.
This method supports tag editors, Tag Inspector, Tag Insight, and Tag Tips (F2 in tag).
It also ensures that these display properly on computers that are set for Large Fonts.
To edit a tag definition using Tag Inspector:
1 Click Edit Tag Definitions to open the Tag Definitions Library dialog box. The left
pane lists all of the installed languages. You can edit the definitions list by using
Add and Remove.
2 Expand a language entry to view individual tags. When you select a tag, the
attributes and other components defined in its VTM file appear in the tabbed
pane.
3 Make changes in the tag definition fields and click Done to save the changes.
This method has limitations, and it might cause the tag editor for the tag to not work
properly. Be sure to back up the VTM file before making changes.
