I like to wrap plain text manually, so that I have a nice smooth left margin and avoid widows/orphans, among other things. Maybe I'm just silly and should trust BBEdit's hard wrapping to do it for me. In this case, I find the page guide helpful as it can show me where to break my lines, but sometimes I want it at 90 characters (the default) because I don't want hard-wrap but just want a nice guide for a decent line-length, sometimes I want it at 80 and sometimes at 72 so I know where to break lines. So for each document I'd like to be able to set the page guide without having to go into preferences. (I don't mind that it's a global setting either, because tasks where I want to hard- wrap are, on the whole, ones which I divert my whole attention to for a while, such as composing email or updating a readme file, etc. Hence I'm happy to have to change it back afterwards.) — dpk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
