The patch for this is pretty much ready, except for a few issues.

- In the Help Viewer, the Edit-->Find_in_This_Page item contains a note about FAYT. Do you want that added to the menu page as well?

- I changed the "Character Coding" label to "Character Encoding". That's what it says on the Windows version. Is it different on other OSes?

- Any additions were based on what I saw on Windows XP. If there any changes, that are not visable on the Windows version, I need to know about them.

- view source mentions bug 172817, but I don't see a UI for it. Do you want to remove that sentence, or add a tip to the tips page, and change the sentence.

- Tools > Options references sometimes use <tt>, and sometimes use <span class=mnu">. Is the use of different tags intentional? If not, which tag do you want to use for all "Tools > Options" references?

Not sure what you mean here. The entry in the help viewer seems up to date, let's use that text.

I think it's the same but I can only verify it in Linux.

The most notable difference is that Linux/Mac use Edit>Preferences and Windows uses Tools>Options.

Good point! This should indeed be added to the Tips & Tricks section. You need to set view_source.editor.external to "true", and then set view_source.editor.path to e.g. "C:\Program\Texturizer\Texturizer.exe" or whatever is your preferred text editor. I just checked and indeed it works.

If you have time, please file a new bug for this, both for adding the tips and for adding a reference to it in menu.html. For now, just remove the text about a "future version".

<span class="mnu">. <tt> is just a mistake, really. :)

Thanks!
