When you are writing your html or xhtml files, you choose which by toggling The Changer at the top of the XML menu. The tools on the Ext menu, however, come in pairs and you will have to choose which you tags you want. As an example, the pair that put a tag to produce a line break (<br> or <br />) at the end of every line including empty lines. The two menu items tell which tag is being inserted by each.
Most of the tools, and many of the other things you do, involve doing a single thing over and over from the top of a file to the bottom. In every instance, clicking on a tool will bring up an info plaque explaining what the tool does and how to prepare the text file for its use. The main thing is to understand what you want to do and to look at the tools available. Here are some things to do to a text file to make text to plug into the body section of a template such as I mentioned at the beginning. These arent really in order so I dont number them.
This is also useful for blocks of text that are dialog (speech), computer code or anything else with lots of defined-length lines in the text rather than run on paragraphs with window edge wrapping.
On the Esc Keys menu, the very last item is Hard Spaces. The Key is Ctrl+V. It says that   will be inserted. Will you have to use mouse or key 52 times? No. An input box comes up and asks how many you want. It will take your number and lay them in all at once. In fact it puts them in rows of nine and the remainder right up against your text. Oh, they are really rows of ten, in this instance five rows. The tenth space is the line-end character. Very neat. Very readable.
Actually, it does not put in  . That works in all ISO Latin and other character sets and that takes care of everybody, everywhere, except maybe on Macs. The MacRoman character set has the n-b space at #202. Browsers may take care of that, but I put in to make it easy for them. On that menu I have fancy quotes, em and en dashes, and other similar things that are not standard ISO Latin-1, but are in Windows ANSI (undocumented) which is the ISO plus (between 128 and 159).
The principle here, is know what is in your text, consider any needs for change, and figure out how to use the many tools in eWriter.<>
