Certain text processing functions can be performed on any text based document by selecting text in the editor and then choosing a menu option from the Selection submenu of the editor pop-up menu. Some of the functions are listed below.
NOTE: Functions under the Selection submenu, such as the ones below, affect only the selected text.
TIP: To quickly select all text, you can press Ctrl+A.
•Change All to References - Changes all selected characters to character references
•Change <>& to Entities - Changes special HTML characters to their character entity references. More specifically, changes '<' to <, '>' to >, and '&' to &. This is useful when converting text to HTML when you want to escape special HTML characters so that the actual characters will display.
•Change References to Chars - Convert character references to the characters they represent. (New v10.00)
•End Lines in <br> - Adds <br> or <br /> to the end of the selected lines. This is useful when converting text to HTML when you want to preserve certain line breaks.

•Change to Lowercase - Changes the selected uppercase characters to lowercase.
•Change to Uppercase - Changes the selected lowercase characters to uppercase.
•Invert Case - Invert the case of the selected uppercase and lowercase characters. (New v10.00)
