The View category in the Preferences dialog box sets the following screen display options:
• Show — Controls display of preferences common to all of the Arbortext Editor views. Choose any of the following you want displayed on the screen:
◦ Context Tracking — Displays element structure in the status bar for the cursor location (for example: report(body(chapter).
◦ Newlines — When text is part of an element with quadding set to asis in the stylesheet, newlines (carriage returns) are displayed as a hooked arrow. If this option is not enabled, the text appears on a new line but the newline character is omitted.
◦ Spaces and Tabs — Displays a character to represent each space or tab in text content:
▪ Spaces: a dot raised above the baseline
▪ No break spaces: the degree/ring character (°)
▪ Tabs: a right arrow (→)
◦ Synchronized Views — Automatically synchronizes the views displayed in the Arbortext Editor window.
