			<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.

		<item title="New hyperlinking preferences">
			<description>
				The Eclipse platform has implemented a <b>Hyperlinking</b>
				preference page for <b>Text Editors</b> where users may specify the kinds of
				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
				page.

				Users can now specify if they want all text and
				whitespace to be left alone in tags with PCDATA
				content when formatting the document. Users can also
				specify if they want the formatter to align the end
				bracket of their start tag with the begin bracket
				for tags that span more than one line. These options
				can be found on the XML <b>Source</b> preference page.
