Auto-complete CSS classes or IDs from a linked CSS file:
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.
Why do you not want it in the img tag? Leave it there unless the
multi-page or changeable caveat below applies.
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
Is the image going to appear on more than one page? If not then the
above leave-it-in-the-img-tag comment above probably still applies.
The only time that putting it in an external CSS file might be useful
is if the image to display might be changeable in which case putting
its dimensions AND URL in the CSS entry so you can swap it (on any
pages it appears on) by editing the CSS entry can be a useful
updating solution.
