I was asked today if BBEdit can, in a HTML document, auto-complete CSS
classes or IDs from a linked CSS file?

For example, if I have at the top of my HTML5 document:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{pathto}/stylesheet.css">

is it possible in that document to auto-complete the class or ID tag
with the classes or IDs from the linked CSS?

CSS Style Sheets contain 3 types of rules.

The first is based on matching the tags (or sequence of tags). This allows you to have a CSS rule that is applied to, for example, all li tags the are enclosed in ul tags and a different set that are used for tags that are at the second level of outline (ie: Are enclosed in a ul tag inside another ul tag). These rules are applied automatically with no user actions.

The other two types are those that you are talking about (tags with class= and id= parms). There is NO way that these can be automatically applied or inserted into the HTML since they get used when the coder explicitly uses a class= or id= parameter. How do you plan for BBE to select which class or id is to be applied to the tag (note that id is allowed to be used ONLY ONCE per page while class is can be used multiple times). What criteria you you expect BBE to use to say "ID=X is to be applied to THIS occurrence of a tag"?
