You can edit attributes in two ways:

7.1. Editing attributes through the Attributes tool
The Attributes tool can be used to create an attribute, change the value of an existing attribute, or delete
an attribute. It displays:
• The list of attributes already applied to the first selected element and their current value.
Mandatory attributes are displayed in red and cannot be removed.

first selected element.

2. When the element is selected, choose in the Insert combo box the attribute you want to add.
This attribute is now activated.
3. For boolean attributes (such as ismap for an image), the command is finished.
4. For attributes with a limited set of predefined values (such as lang), you have to select a value
in the list of possible values.

the apply button ( ).
To change the value of an attribute:
