You can edit more elements of the same article in the source pane at once.
By default, each element opens in a new horizontal split. The following screenshot shows three article elements, each open in its own horizontal split.
If the space, assigned for each split is insufficient, you can scale the main window, or reduce the space of any element, by dragging the horizontal splitter where you want.
