There's a way to customize the HTML reformatting in BBEdit and that this affects the way it outputs tags -- there's some kind of config file format borrowed from Dreamweaver. This is mentioned in the manual on page 230, but unfortunately there's absolutely no docs for it.
What you need to do is copy the "SourceFormat.profile" file that's in the BBEdit application bundle to the location the manual mentions (you can find it by selecting "Show Package Contents" when you right-click on the BBEdit app, and looking in Contents/Resources). Then you can open the file and edit it like an XML document. Adobe provides documentation for this which can be helpful: https://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/how/beginner/conduct/971208_beginner4.html (As an aside, Bare Bones folks: consider putting a copy of the source profile on your web site and guiding people a little more than you do here? An awful lot of your users these days have probably never opened Dreamweaver, and just saying "put a Dreamweaver source format profile in this directory" is... mystifying.) Oddly enough, I've used "Exchange Characters" on occasion to fix typos when I transpose characters. It's not a command you'll be using constantly, unless you're a very bad typist. :) On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 10:08 AM, Thomas Mai <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > Since last weekend I'm a new BBEdit user.
