If I use BBEdit 9.6 or 10.1 and edit an shtml page, there will be NO live preview at all if I turn off Web Sharing!? And it was specifically *live preview* I was talking about in my original post. In addition, I quote from the User Guide (for v9.6) that claims the opposite of what you wrote: > In addition to static previews, BBEdit also supports live local previewing > of web pages through the web server built into Mac OS X.

To me, it appears pretty obvious that some kind of "local web server functionality" must be present to have "live preview" of web pages that use both css and server side includes. One ways was using Apples stuff in Lion and earlier, another might be MAMP. As for: > I think that is a perfectly valid complaint, but one that should > be directed in Apple's direction. That has already been done, but I am pretty certain that it will have no effect. (See e.g http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5230.) So, the issue is definitely a problem for BBEdit and you need to relate to it in some way. As a user, I can use BBEdit, or I can use other packages to create web pages. If using BBEdit becomes to cumbersome, it is not exactly a bonus point for BBEdit. /h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
