Dana's regular expressions are quite primitive,but usable enough.

Notice:In Dana,If U use regular expression,perhaps cause "illegal operation error".
And Dana also support the "Grep" function,and can give U a tag file,Let U rapidly alterate to destination document and position.
Dana provide a named "Dana Script"'s languate,It is a programmable macro language for the text editor "Dana".
It is very similar to BASIC language in syntax.On the other hand,it has some specifications like C language.
Most of control structures,numerous functions and properties to control Dana,plus calling DLL functions capability,can help you to write flexible and powerful macro scripts for Dana.
And For general user ,It let them do some program without any coding experience.
And Dana also provide one set functions Let U exchange information between Dana and other applications.
Although Dana is not a WYSWYG type HTML editor,but if you have a WWW browser it should not be a problem.You can write HTML text with great ease because of the sofisticated user interface of Dana.
*HTML3.2 featured (not fully supported)
*Easy operation
*You can input every kinds of tags for the selected text.
*Intelligent Menu:a situation sensitive menu which is brought up when the caret is on a particular tag.
*You can create HTML template immediately.
*You can remove all the tags from the selected text.
*Of course,you can use all the edit functions of Dana.
"HTML mode for Dana"is actually written in "Dana Script":the script language for Dana,so you can modify it easily.
I don't mention details on HTML syntax.You should see some books or documents written about HTML.(Don't worry,very easy.)
FYI,I always refer the text file which I got from the following site.
http://werbach.com/barebones/
This is a very compact reference.And it is also translated into many languages.(Of course,I was very glad to find a Japanese version.)
You can get bunch of information on HTML through the Internet anyway.
- For my experience,swith between upper case and lower case frequently for get a readable codes is very pain for a coder.So I make Dana support such cycle input function:for example,U want to input "BookSalary",U should press the "B" key twice,then the Uppercase "B" has been in editwindow,and then press "o" key,but when U hit "o" again,Dana only change the lower "o" to Upper "O",hit again,It will change lower "o" again,In such case,U should press left shift key one time,then U press "o" key again,Dana should know u want to type "oo".and then,U should press "k" key ,press "s" key twice,and press "alary" key one time.
I don't know whether such police can give U advantage or not.It should depend U choice,and U can use right mouse menu->switch->Cycle Between UL to switch up and down such function. and In Dana's status bar,It should display a symbole to express the status:"A" is on,and none is off
- right mouse menu->switch->Cycle Between UD,such function let U input "~!@#$%^&*()_+|?><}{":" easily. U only need to hit key twice. For example,hit "1" key one time,then the "1" will be displayed,and if U hit again,then "!" will be displayed,in turn displays "1" Or "!".
For easy to input number,U can use Numeric keypad to input "11123....",and Itwill not display as "123".
Of cource,such function still can be switch down.
- right mouse menu->switch->symbol input,such function can let U rapidly type some special symbols.and U can edit the map file:###alter###.n2t,and each line express a mapping relation,and U should change the type seials reverse:
for example,you want to use "(us)" replace "Americ" ,you should add a line:
0)su(Americ
Perhaps,U still can't perceive clarity,never mind,if U try one time,and U know all.
-
right mouse menu->switch->AutoComplete Manager->switch AutoComplete,such open a new function,let U type keywords or longwords very easily.
For example,U now build a Sql script,then U should use right mouse menu to load a Sql Script's WordList,then U can type "subs",then U will find,the "Substring" has completely,and the cursor locate behind "subs".Now,if U want to know what's meanning about "Substring",U can use shortkey "Ctrl-Ins" to see a memo,all use "Shift-tab" to see a match list.And U want to complete the word,U can use "tab" key,then the cursor will goto the end of "Substring".
And have many complex functions about Autocomplete wait U to find.
