It strikes me that the HTML pane ought to be called the Document pane or the Doc pane.
 
I think someone mentioned this in another thread but I think it is important enough to deserve a thread of it's own.
 
Yes it can hold HTML, but it can also hold RTF, Markdown, Ink and SVG.  So calling it the HTML pane is misleading, it's purpose would be more clearly expressed and easier to understand for new users if it had a more appropriate name.

Hi Paul,
 
Agreed 100%. I (and others perhaps) did suggest this recently and it will be done progressively.

Correction: the Doc pane cannot hold RTF formatted text. You can paste RTF text into it, which will then be converted to HTML

Another good simplification would be to change the name of 'WikiTag' to 'Tag'.
 
You can actually re-name it in the Field Properties dialog but if you do then a lot of functionallity of the tags stops working.
 
However you can change the 'Caption (in grids):' and the 'Caption (in properties):' to 'Tag' without changing the name and everything continues to work correctly.
 
But it would be good to change the name to something simple and obvious.
 

 While we are on the subject of the HTML pane soon to be the Doc Pane. I have not found away to have the HTML code when it is in view in the pane to wrap to the width of the pane. It would be very help if it did however. This would provide both the beginning of the code and the end of the html code as well as everything in between.
 
Thanks,
John
