Text Mode

Text mode is used for plain text editing.

Text mode is convenient for specific XML source code editing which can't be done in WYSIWYG mode:
Regular authoring is not recommended in Text mode. To use the full power of XML functionality, switch to WYSIWYG mode: choose Tools > Switch to WYSIWYG Mode or press F6.
Note:

When you switch between WYSIWYG mode and Text mode, the authoring (undo/redo) history gets lost.

In Text mode, the view of a document in the Editing Window is independent of the document type.
