I am in the process of replacing Dreamweaver for web site management - CS6 will die soon, and I will not go the CC path (Affinity products have repaced the rest of the Adobe Suite). I find that BBEdit does most of what I want splendidly (I did not expect anything else :-) … more about this below * if you are interested.
Call me a wimp, but I'd like to use a WYSIWYG editor for creating the *content* of the web pages (as opposed to the structure and control code for which I gratefully accept the BBEdit editor), so I'd like to have an "Open with …" command in the BBEdit project view to edit the HTML (and possible CSS) pages with BlueGriffon. The obvious workaround is to use the "Open in Finder" command after assigning the HTML and CSS file types to BlueGriffon. Is there another way? Grateful for any ideas and opinions - Lutz * If you are interested, here is how I will migrate: The thing that really made DW very useful for me was the complete site management, most of all the use of Templates and Components. DW templates define editable regions in document templates; you *cannot* change the content of non-editable parts of the doc inside DW, you need to change and re-apply the template to change them. Well, ecxcept the enforcement of not touching the "template" parts of the doc BBEdit can achieve the same, and in some ways even better, by turning the principle upside down: Everything is editable, but I will include the constant, "template" parts as persistent includes and replace them with the "prescribed" content on upload (by project settings). That, plus variables/placeholders, plus "simple" includes, actually make BBEdit much more flexible than DW. So far it is just an idea, or let's say a plan, but I am certain it will work. The functionality of BBEdit in that respect is simply amazing (and I am not even talking about scripted includes … no limit except your imagination if you use these). -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
