Tools - Document information
This window presents and allows you to edit a range of information about the indicated document and links to other documents, allows you to manage tasks and bookmarks, presents information about the expected network transfer, etc. Using this window, you can type notes and select the status of the document, which is very useful for group work on a project.
Note: In Spider.1.0, this window has been extensively redesigned, increasing its readability and functionality, while bringing its appearance closer to that of other program windows.
You can launch the Document Information window by using the command marked with the icon shown above located in the Main Menu / Display / Document Information, as well as by using the button shown above located on the mini toolbar (on the left side of the editor). You can indicate the document for which information is to be presented and edited in two ways.
- To get information about any document in a project, point to it in the Projects tab (just click once, no need to open it).
- To get information about the current file open in the editor, just place the cursor on it.
Further, the document for which the information will be displayed will be called the current document.
If the tool window is already open, the information will show there automatically. If it is not open, open it.
The window can be open all the time - it does not block the program's work. If you temporarily do not need it, you can collapse it to the title bar by clicking on the icon next to the window closing icon (on the title bar). By clicking on this icon again, you can expand the window.
The contents of the window are placed in five tabs:
Basic information
File:
Shows the path and name of the file for which information is presented.
Preview document

This is the document that will be displayed if you want to view the current document in the browser. this is useful when the current document is, for example, a script attached to other documents, and does not display any data on its own (e.g. a JavaScript *.js file). Use the buttons on the right to select or remove the preview document assignment. Status

- Document language - select from the list the markup language that will be used by default to create the document. In this way you can change the behavior of the program specified in the Program Settings and Project Properties window. This setting will be used when recognition of the document type using standard methods (DOCTYPE, xlmns) is not possible. The list contains the names of all categories (all markup languages) supported by Spider. You can change the contents of the list (add and remove languages, as well as modify their settings) using the TDF Editor.
