Taco HTML Edit Help > File Types
Taco HTML Edit determines a file's type based on the extension in a file's name. The file type affects how code coloring, code
completion, and previewing is performed for a file. For example, Taco HTML Edit will apply the CSS coloring rules to a file
if the file's name ends with a CSS file extension, such as ".css". The File Types section of the Preferences allows the file
type associations to be customized, although the default values should work well for most people.
File extensions can be removed and new ones added in the File Types Preferences. For each extension in the list, a file type must be specified from the following choices:
If a file has an extension associated with the "Binary" file type, then the file will be hidden in the project file browser. The Default File Type will be used if a file has an extension not appearing in the list, or the file is new and has not yet been saved.
