Some of you may have heard of E Text Editor before. If not, it's an excellent editor for Windows modelled after TextMate on Mac OS X. The Bundles used by TextMate are mostly compatible with E, so if you're looking for TextMate on Windows, or you simply want a superb multi-purpose text editor, E Text Editor is it.
But I don't want to advertise E to you particularly, but rather show off a new feature that could be of immense interest to CSS (and HTML and *insert-your-language-of-choice* coders). It's something that's really stoked my interest for sure. That new feature is "Snippet Pipes". If you're familiar with TextMate's snippets, they should be somewhat familiar (they're an extension of TM's snippets format). There's a blog post explaining them here: http://snipr.com/3uxi8 I immediately saw the benefit of this new feature as did others in the E community. Here's a screencast demoing a snippet that calculates em values for you: http://www.screencast.com/t/ivnuQ8hndFm The code for those snippets can be found here: http://snipr.com/3uxnw http://snipr.com/3uxo9 I find this immensely cool and exciting. Here are a few more screencasts: http://snipr.com/3u24w http://snipr.com/3uxp5 http://snipr.com/3uxpc Does anyone have any further ideas for snippet pipes? If you do, post them here and I'll see if I can create them.
