I'm well aware of what year it is, thanks and I'm not writing HTML 3.2 or even 4.1. Part of my job involves marking up (and/or fixing others' markup of) "electronic supplements" to scientific journal articles, so there are lots of small bits of text that need to be super and sub- scripted, italicized, and/or bolded. I generally use XHTML 1.1 Strict or HTML5 (with XHTML syntax, which I prefer). I do occasionally resort to using XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and have been known to throw in a quite a bit of inline CSS when it seems like the easiest way to accomplish whatever I'm trying to do, but pretty much all of my markup and css validates and I (almost) never resort to using tables for layout. I suppose I could assign (and memorize) keyboard shortcuts for tags I use that no longer have buttons (em, strong, sub, sup, span, and code would be at the top of the list), but I'm also finding that BBEdit 10's markup commands often behave differently (and to my way of thinking, less usefully) than in earlier versions. For example, if I select an email address and apply the anchor command to it older versions would automagically populate the href attribute with "mailto:[email protected]"; so the operation was 3 steps, select the email address, click the Anchor button (or type the keyboard equivalent) and hit return. To accomplish the same thing in 10 it's select the email address, copy, click Anchor, type "hr" to get BBEdit to auto complete the "href", tab to the next field, type "mailto:";, paste the email address and hit return. This is a particularly egregious example, but I'm finding a bunch of similarly more tedious steps are needed to accomplish various other tasks. I'm really not a reflexive Luddite and I do like the more modern look of the new palettes, but most of the changes in BBEdit 10 really just don't seem to fit with my style of working with the program at all :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
