In the Author mode, you can control the amount of displayed markup using the following dedicated actions from the toolbar:
Full Tags
with Attributes- Displays full name tags with attributes for both block level as well as in-line level elements.
Full
Tags- Displays full name tags without attributes for both block level as well as in-line level elements.
Block
Tags- Displays full name tags for block level elements and simple tags without names for in-line level elements.
Inline
Tags- Displays full name tags for inline level elements, while block level elements are not displayed.
Partial
Tags- Displays simple tags without names for in-line level elements, while block level elements are not displayed.
No
Tags- No tags are displayed. This is the most compact mode.
To set a default mode of the tags mode, go to Author preferences page and configure the Tags display mode mode. However, if the document opened in Author editor does not have an associated CSS stylesheet, then the Full Tags mode will be used.
Block-level elements are those elements of the source document that are formatted visually as blocks (e. g. paragraphs), while the inline level elements are distributed in lines (e. g. emphasizing pieces of text within a paragraph, inline images, etc). The graphical format of the elements is controlled from the CSS sources via the display property.
