# DefaultOverlayEndTag

The default value to use for the EndTag parameter in the View or GetLink action when highlighting PDF2-rendered documents, where the View component renders the PDF as a transparent text layer overlaid on an image of the page.

NOTE: You can enable the PDF2 reader by editing the `formats_e.ini` file to set `230=pdf2`.

By default, View uses a translucent background color, so that the underlying text in the image is visible, and highlighted. Set DefaultOverlayStartTag and `DefaultOverlayEndTag` to modify this highlighting behavior.

You can override the value of `DefaultOverlayEndTag` by setting EndTag in the View or GetLink action.

Type: | String
Default: | `</a>`
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Viewing
Example: | `DefaultEndTag=</a>`
