Ah, things are looking up, and I'm beginning to see how this works. I don't know where my clippings file came from, if not BBEdit. (I used TextWrangler long enough to write a 25 chapter book in HTML, and am only very recently exploring the fancy features of BBEdit. Some of them work wonderfully well and make life much simpler.) But what I was hoping to find was a date format that would record the time of most recent update automatically, rather than just once. Is there a way to do that in BBEdit? -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
