Pause For Each Tag When Using The Keyboard To Move The Cursor

Checking this option will cause the cursor to treat hidden tags as if they were visible when using the arrow keys to move through the text. The Status Bar at the bottom of the screen will indicate which set of tags the cursor is currently inside.

Provide Hint Text When The Mouse Cursor Hovers Over Tags

This option will provide pop-up text information about the tagged text that may be helpful during the editing process.  Experienced editors may want to uncheck the box if they find the hints distracting during editing.

Enter Key Pressed At End Of Tag Closes That Tag

When checked, this option will add a new line after the ending tag when you press the Enter key with the cursor immediately in front of the ending tag. To add a line before the ending tag press Shift+Enter. This option will save time while editing most content, but will be particularily helpful once the UFGS Manual Lists are converted to use Ordered Lists.
