Displaying the Markup

You can control the amount of markup that is displayed in the Author mode with various levels of tag modes for both block and in-line elements.

Tags Display Mode

The following dedicated tag modes are available from the Tags Display Mode drop-down menu (available on the toolbar):

Full Tags with Attributes: Displays full tag names with attributes for both block and inline elements.Oxygen XML Author
Full Tags: Displays full tag names without attributes for both block elements and inline elements.
Block Tags: Displays full tag names for block elements and simple tags without names for inline elements.
Block Tags without Element Names: Displays tags for block elements but without element names for a more compact version of Block Tags mode. You can still see the element names by hovering over the tags.
Inline Tags: Displays full tag names for inline elements, while block elements are not displayed.
Partial Tags: Displays simple tags without names for inline elements, while block elements are not displayed.
No Tags: No tags are displayed. This is the most compact mode and is as close as possible to a word-processor view.
Configure Tags Display Mode: Use this option to go to the Author preferences page where you can configure the Tags Display Mode options.

Note:

The associated CSS information is used to determine whether a tag should be considered inline or block. If the current document does not have an associated CSS stylesheet, then the Full Tags mode will be used.
