Switch between WYSIWYG and HTML Source Editing Modes.

Quickly switch between three easy-to-use modes: WYSIWYG editing mode, HTML Source Editing mode, and Preview mode. The selected content in one mode is also selected in another mode when you switch between WYSIWYG and HTML Source Edit mode. Preview Mode releases you from guesswork as to how the end content will look in a web browser. When you switch from WYSIWYG mode to Raw HTML Source mode, the selected HTML in WYSIWYG mode also gets selected in HTML Source Mode. The same logic works in opposite direction.
