 Application Icon HTML Pages, Web pages, Feeds
 

HTML views display web pages stored in the database or downloaded 'live' from the Internet, by using the Safari web browser engine of Mac OS X. Pages are rendered similar to Safari or any other WebKit-based browser such as DEVONagent.

DEVONthink Personal does not display news feeds. You can find news feeds support in DEVONthink Pro and higher.

HTML views support the Edit > Find > commands as well as the See Also & Classify drawer. To edit the source code of an HTML document, use the navgiation bar to switch from preview to plain text mode.

In editable web archives you can use, e.g., the highlighting commands from the Format menu or add the Color tool to the toolbar to change text colors.


Shortcuts & Modifier Keys

  • Command-Click: Open clicked URL in the default application (for example, your default Internet browser) or in a new tab, depending on your preferences.
  • Command-Shift-Click: Opens a link in a new tab and selects it (only if tabbed browsing is switched on).
  • Backspace/Shift-Backspace: Go backwards and forwards through the visited web pages.


Toolbar

Separate HTML or web browser windows feature a default toolbar set that is more web-like than text document windows. As with text document windows, this toolbar can be individually configured. Naturally, the DEVONthink Personal offers only tools for HTML views that are useful in a web environment.
