I hope this isn't off-topic for this thread... but I have an alternative, somewhat related idea. I'm still using BBEdit 9.6.3, but I'm guessing there's still nothing like this in version 10 (?).
When I drag an image into a BBEdit HTML document, the dialog asks me whether I want BBEdit to enter the dimensions of the image. I say yes (leave it checked), but I usually don't really want the dimensions in the inline HTML code. After the img tag is inserted by BBEdit, I typically... 1. Add an ID to the image's HTML tag 2. Create a new CSS rule in the styles section of the document's head, with a selector using the same ID as the image 3. Transfer (cut and paste) the width and height that BBEdit inserted for me, from the HTML in the body to the new CSS rule in the head, which of course means changing its format slightly from HTML to CSS 4. Later, I may transfer the rule again from the document's head to a linked CSS stylesheet None of this is onerous, but I think it would be nice if BBEdit could automate some of this. There could be a text-entry box in the original Insert Image dialog box asking me if I'd like to make up an ID. If I entered an ID there, BBEdit could then *not* enter the dimensions inline, but rather create the rule for me in the head (and even create a style section in the head if it doesn't already have one), using the corresponding ID as the selector, and put the dimensions there. Going even further, there could also be a "Background Image" checkbox in the original insert-image dialog box. If checked, that would put a different src in the HTML tag (not sure how the interface for that would work) and then, instead of referencing the image I just dragged into the HTML tag, insert it as a declaration in the styles section -- like this: background-image: url(foo/bar.jpg). Also I'd like a checkbox asking me what color pony I want (silver), and offering me free shipping. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
