The available markup changes based on the location of your cursor in the Edit pane and the Mode selected. If an element is not listed in the Insert Markup dialog box, it means that the element is not valid (not in context) at the cursor location.

3. Choose the appropriate mode, depending on what type of markup you want to insert. The options are
◦ Tags — Lists valid elements for the current location in the document.
◦ PIs (processing instructions) — Lists valid processing instructions. Processing instructions consist of system-dependent information or instructions that control how the tag content is to be processed or formatted. These can include such formatting items as starting a new line, adding a fixed space, or breaking a column here.
◦ Text Entities — Lists text entities declared for the current document.
◦ File Entities — Lists file entity declared for the current document.
◦ Marked Sections — (SGML only) Lists valid marked section elements.
◦ User tags — Lists valid user-defined elements.
4. Highlight the markup you want to insert, and then click Insert.
The elements are inserted in the Edit pane, and the Cancel button changes to Close. The Insert Markup dialog box remains open until you close it.
