How to Use Arachnophilia

By: CCmahoni


Tag Coloring

Tag button

Arachnophilia will automatically color the tags in an HTML document, making it easy to distinguish among normal text, HTML tags and the definitions within tags. These buttons allow you to customize the color choices. Your choices are preserved between Arachnophilia work sessions.

There are some default colors that are not on this list. These colors only appear when the number of “ <” and “> ” symbols is unbalanced. This is an efficient way to detect a common HTML coding error – an orphan tag delimiter (either “ <” or “> ” alone).

If you have an extra “ <” symbol, a purple color appears below it on the page.

tag color is purple
Conversely, if you have an extra “> ” symbol, the error color is red. You will quickly learn how to read the colors and locate coding errors that are very hard to spot on an ordinary HTML editor.

On slower computers, you may notice that automatic tag coloring slows the display. In this case, try disabling the feature and using the manual options instead.
