Basic Editing

To edit hypertext, use the various editing features to modify the text in the window. Then press the "Generate Source" or choose this option from the "File" menu. This will bring up a window with the hypertext source corresponding to the text in the window. To save the text into a file, press the "Save" button at the top of the source window. The hypertext source uses HTML as a markup language.
