Congratulations on your finding one of the best text editing programs around…if not THE best.
BBEdit is a text editing program and I think you’re asking to be a word processor. It isn’t. BBEdit does some text coloring on the screen but it is used for highlighting snippets of programming code. Code like HTML, perl, C, Python and a bunch of other programming languages. It is only colored within the BBEdit program. It’s not saved to a disk. I suppose it would be possible to write something, then code it with word processing styles in HTML, open it in a web browser and view it or print it from that but that would be exceedingly clumsy. E.g., <b>reset</b> then <span style=“color:red”>existing</span> followed by <span style=“background-color:green”>Conflict</span> What a mess! There are some shortcuts by adding CSS, but that’s another story. Since you have BBEdit, I’ll assume that you probably have a Mac, in which case you have Apple’s Pages, a word processor. That should easily allow you to stylize text in a multitude of ways. BBEdit does amazing stuff. I have the application running all the time. The user manual can be your friend. Best wishes. > On Oct 13, 2023, at 10:14 AM, Gilbert Grosdidier > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm a newbie with BBEdit use. > I was unable to find any help about some very simple actions : while in a > plain text document, here is a bunch of text : > "ACPI To Reset RHUBs (May Conflict With Existing SSDT)" > - how could I put "reset" in bold ? > - how could I put "existing" in red ? > - how could I put "Conflict" before green background ? > > Many Thanks, Regards, Gilbert. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
