The Quanta Editor Window


Quanta's editor window


Quanta's editor window allows for multiple files to be opened at the same time. When just one file is open, the document fills the entire editor window. As soon as a second document is opened, a small amount of space is taken from the bottom of the editory window to allow for tabs to be displayed with the filenames and a status icon (this picture doesn't show it, but there is a blue floppy icon that shows up to the left of the filename when a file has been altered indicating that a save is necessary).

At the top of the editor window is the editor toolbar set. Currently, Quanta has a default set of toolbars that are loaded. These are Standard, Fonts, Tables, Lists, Forms, Other. These are the original toolbars that have been a part of Quanta for some time now. These toolbars are strictly HTML and will continue to be a part of Quanta but will eventually be loaded only on demand and not by default.

Toolbar usage is pretty straight forward. If you're looking for a basic tag (like <u>), you click on that tag and it is inserted into your document. You then insert your information betrween (if there's a closing tag) the tags and call it good. If you're looking to insert something that takes more information than just you're text (like a <a href...>) then you'll get a dialog box with the various fields you can fill in.
