Go Menu

This menu lists a few applications that can be used with PHTML. Xiino is a web browser that will open Memo Pad records and render them as a web site. You can do this by exporting your documents to Memo Pad through the File menu. LFtp is a File Transfer Protocol application, which allows you to upload and download documents. Tapping on one of these menu options will launch the application selected.

Main Screen

Insert Tag - HTML tags are categorized by their types. Tapping on a category will bring up a list of tags in that category. Tapping on a tag will insert it into your document. If you have text already selected in the document, then the tag will fit around the selected text (e.g., the bold tag will have <b> to the left of the selected text and </b> to the right). Any custom tags you defined are listed in the Custom category. Selecting Repeat Last will re-insert the last tag that you inserted into the document, including CSS inserts.
CSS - This works the same way as Insert Tag. It has every CSS attribute, and tapping on one will insert it into the currently open document.
P - Inserts <p></p> (paragraph) tags into the document.
BR - Inserts the <br> (line break) tag into the document.
Document Switching Buttons - These three buttons represent three open documents. They allow you to open up to three documents at a time. Tapping on one will switch to that document. You can open a new one by tapping on the one you want the document to open in and tapping on Open in the File menu. You can close an open document by tapping on the document switching button that you want to close, and tapping on Close in the File menu.
