			<description>
				The command previously known as <b>Format Document</b> will
				now just be known as <b>Format</b>. This is because if the
				user selects some text, the <b>Format</b> command will now
				just format the elements selected. If no text is
				selected, <b>Format Document</b> is performed. The <b>Format
				Active Elements</b> command remains the same. When users
				invoke that action, it will format the element the
				cursor is currently on.

				The Eclipse platform has implemented a <b>Hyperlinking</b>

				hyperlink navigation they want enabled. The kinds of Hyperlink created by the
				WTP source editors are now available in that list. This new preference
				page can be found under the <b>Text Editors</b> preference
