Some questions or possible enhancements on Insert Tag tool?

[arspr]

Several very small things I've just detected that maybe have some kind of conscious design criteria behind them:

• Why is Insert Tag tool available at opf, xml or ncx files? (As example it's not available in css ones)
• Insert Tags tool lacks h5 and h6 ones, why?
• More over, why don't you add <br/> or <hr/> or more like these ones to the Insert Tag list?
• Would it be worthy adding a concise description in the tag list in order to make them more user friendly to casual users? I mean something like "h1 - Title level 1", "strong - Reinforcement of rendering, quite similar to bold", "p - Paragraph"
• Insert image, insert hyperlink and insert tag tools are located in the beautify and fix html bar. Shouldn't they be located in the "Format" bar?

You can type in h5 and h6 by pressing the <> next to the down arrow, and afterwards they will be on the list. They appear in order of use. My h4 and p tags contend for top spot in the book I am doing.

It inserts the tags at both ends...I know. But such a tag is not much useful. This is more a clips function thing, I think.

Personally, if you don't know what it means you shouldn't be playing with it. An html editor is a dangerous thing for someone who doesn't know what they are doing and pushes the save button over the only copy.

1) Because you can insert tgs in opf, ncx and xml files, but not in css files

2) insert tag allows you to insert any tag you like, as mrmikel pointed out

3) Insert tag is primarily useful for full tags and to wrap existing text in a tag. Self closing tags are pretty easy to just type.

4) I dont see much point, see (2) you can have any tag ata ll , including invalid ones.

Would it maybe possible to tweak the insert tag code a bit to allow inserting tags with classes?

Example: I tried to insert a custom tag "div class='letter'" and got the following result:

<div class='letter'></div class='letter'>

Would it be possible to have the closing tag ignore stuff after a space and only use the first 'word' in the example the "div"?

Thanks guys...

I never noticed that clicking on the icon, not in the down arrow, you got a dialogue to insert whatever tag you wanted...

Of course with this "hidden" feature, (I'm fully dumb), each one of my suggestions is pretty worthless... And of course, because of it, this tool completely make sense in every xml like file format...
