# DefaultStartTag

The default value to use for the StartTag parameter in the View or GetLink action. If you do not specify a StartTag in the action, the View component uses the value of this parameter. The StartTag is the opening HTML tag used to highlight a link term.

NOTE: If you set MultiHighlight to `True` in the View action, you must still set the StartTag and EndTag parameters for multiple terms.

NOTE: If you configure View to use PDF2 rendering, it uses different default values for highlighting. See DefaultOverlayStartTag and DefaultOverlayEndTag.
