Show snippet as placeholder
In the editor, is there a way to show snippets as short placeholders rather than be fully expanded? For some of larger pages are built from a collection of snippets and having them appear as placeholders rather than fully expanded would make reorganizing them easier.

Hi Dan,
If you disable the option "Snippet begins a new paragraph" it creates an inline snippet that is shown as a placeholder. If you place that in a new paragraph it should achieve what you want.

Re: Show snippet as placeholder
Hi Tim, Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. While I have your attention
1. Is there a way to always open pages in a new tab?
2. How do I refresh a page that has links without having to re-open it? I've been re-opening the page, but it always replaces the the first tab before I get a chance to click on "open in a new tab"?
Thanks.

No, that isn't currently possible. You might want to post a request in the Wish List section.
You can do that with the File > Reload Topic option in Project > Manage Topics. However, if the tab you are editing in contains unsaved changes those will be discarded when you do this, because the topic will be reloaded from disk. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to this in View > Program Options > Shortcuts (further down under the Topics heading).2. How do I refresh a page that has links without having to re-open it?

In addition to this you can reload images from their files with a right-click option on the image (Picture > Reload).
