Overview of Document Classes A Document Class is used to define a set of attributes for a group of files. The files belonging to a document class are specified by file names or wild cards, and the attributes include tab stops, font, page layout for printing, and syntax highlighting. When first installed, TextPad defines classes for plain text files, binary files, C/C++, HTML and Java. Any files that don't belong to one of these classes will be displayed with the attributes defined for the Default class. To customize document classes or their attributes, choose the Preferences command on the Configure menu, then: To create your own classes, either select the Document Classes page, or choose the New Document Class command on the Configure menu. See also How to Create a New Document Class. To modify the members or change the attributes of a class, select its Properties page. To modify the display colors of a class, select its Colors page.
