hmBody:"<p class=\"p_Normal\">These options allow you to customize visual aspects of the various types of file views.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">Pick an element from the list to change its visual treatment.  You can change the <span class=\"f_Command\">Text color<\/span> and <span class=\"f_Command\">Background<\/span> color of each element on the list.  For some elements you can change the font <span class=\"f_Command\">Style<\/span> to bold and\/or italic.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">Lower elements in the list override higher ones.  Pick <span class=\"f_Command\">Default<\/span> to leave unchanged a color set by an element higher on the list.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">Mark the <span class=\"f_Command\">Use stripes<\/span> checkbox to tint the background on every other line of the comparison.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">The <span class=\"f_Command\">Selection<\/span> element controls the treatment of selected text.  By default, Beyond Compare uses a medium blue color for selections so that difference coloring is not obscured.  If you prefer the operating system\'s standard treatment for selections, mark the <span class=\"f_Command\">Use system<\/span> checkbox.  Selected text will then lose difference and syntax coloring, although the statusbar will still describe the current position\'s comparison and grammar type.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">The <span class=\"f_Command\">Important difference<\/span> and <span class=\"f_Command\">Unimportant difference<\/span> settings control the treatment of differences.  The <span class=\"f_Command\">Background<\/span> color affects the entire line, allowing you to spot lines with differences even when the actual differences are scrolled off-screen.  The <span class=\"f_Command\">Text background<\/span> color can be used to further highlight text that is different.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">The list also includes syntax highlighting elements.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Normal\">Click one of the font buttons to change the overall font used to display text.  The <span class=\"f_Command\">Editor Font<\/span> is used in Text Compare, Text Merge and Table Compare views.  The <span class=\"f_Command\">Hex Font<\/span> is used in Hex Compare views, as well as the optional hex details display at the bottom of other views.  The <span class=\"f_Command\">Listing Font<\/span> is used in all other views.<\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SingleSpaced\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlso\">See also<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SingleSpaced\"><a href=\"optionstweak.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Tweak Options &gt; Editor Display<\/a><\/p>\n\r"
