The place where you can create end edit your documents. There are 3 possibilities to get text into the Text Input Field: 1)Typing by hand 2)Pasting from the clipboard 3)Using Open or Open Recent. You can alter an existing document either by typing or using the Find&Replace-function. Doubleclick will select a word, 3 clicks will select a paragraph. Undo and Redo are managed by the OperatingSystem. By pasting from the clipboard, RichText may be supported (depends on View -> RichText: ) but will not be saved. AutomaticLinkDetection is turned off since version 1.01 (didn't seem to be useful). SyntaxHighlighting is not shown in the Text Input Field but in the calculate-subwindow. To see the results of your work, you have to save the documents using Save or the Quicksave-option.
Working on multiple documents
Although you always see only one document, you can have up to 6 documents open at the same time. When switching between documents using the DocumentKnob or the DocumentList, you do not have to save or change the reference. The easiest way to understand the documents' handling of ParseProGo is to think of 6 Text Input Fields with one (the visible document) on top. With Quicksave turned ON, changes will take effect on all documents immediately (that might speed up your work).
When moving the cursor over the DocumentKnob without clicking, a list of the open files will be shown. Turning the DocumentKnob will bring the selected document (if available) to front. The first document is at 12 o'clock, the second at 2 o'clock, and so on.
Same as DocumentKnob. When moving the cursor over a shortened entry, the full name will be shown. Clicking an entry will bring the respective document (if available) to front.
Same as View -> Preview Intern. Read the instructions of the Quicksave-option carefully: If Quicksave is turned ON, preview intern will cause different Save-actions.
Same as View -> Preview Extern. Read the instructions of the Quicksave-option carefully: If Quicksave is turned ON, preview extern will cause different Save-actions.
Same as View -> Show Sticky but also produces a sound. If you don't like that, select the function from the menu.
Well, this function is quick but only safe when you're contentrated during working... With Quicksave turned ON, when clicking preview intern or preview extern, the visible document is saved automatically but also all open documents if filename and filepath are set (note that the file must be located inside the workspace). That means that you can work on a whole project without caring about saving; but it also means that Revert can't help you if you're typing nonsense into one of your open documents. If you are not absolutely sure about yourself, it probably is a good idea to make some backups before turning Quicksave ON. After startup, the default value you've chosen in Preferences... will be recalled.
Shows this manual, the Startup-Widget or the parsed result of your work. Becomes invisible when the calculate-subwindow is called but remains working. Based on the AppleWebKit (and has the same opinion about well-formed and malformed documents as Safari).
Since this is a PHP-Editor, the Startup-Widget is made using PHP (and nothing else). You can find it in your workspace as welcome.php. If you want to replace it, place another document welcome.php (which may use the $_GET-parameter) inside the workspace; ParseProGo orders at startup a document welcome.php?author=AUTHOR (AUTHOR is the entry for Author: set in Preferences...).
Contains PHP Function Search and the Syntax Highlight Field. Syntax highlighting is called every time when you open a document or save a document inside the workspace.
PHP Function Search demands the name of a PHP-function (without brackets; type 'print', not 'print()'). By clicking search, the result will be shown in your (extern) default browser; by clicking on the question mark, the result will be shown in the Syntax Highlight Field. Keep in mind that you can choose a language in Preferences..., but not everything is translated.
