+ Word wrap
+ Word wrapping does not effect the contents of the text file, only the way it is viewed in the editing window.

If Word wrap is enabled an additional option, "Split words over two lines" appears, allowing the editor to break up words to facilitate wrapping.

Tag List Plugin

+ The Tag List plugin allows you to insert common tags (i.e. pieces of text) from a list in the side pane. This is most useful probably for XML or HTML types of files where sets of tags are used to identify formatting for different sections of text. Such tags are typing intensive. A number of standard tag lists come by default with &app;, and other tag lists can be configured. Configuration is done by creating a file in the user's configuration directory (~/.config/xed/taglist/). The file suffix is ".tags". The format of this type of XML file is beyond the scope of this help document, but example tag list files can be found in the installation files (e.g. .../share/xed/plugins/taglist/*)
To use the Tag List plugin, perform the following steps:
Choose View Side Pane .
- By default, the side pane shows a tab containing a list of open documents. Click on the tab showing a + icon at the bottom of the side pane to show the tag list tab.
