I'd have to check myself, but perhaps switching the language for the

Re: Live Preview On BBedit

2017-11-28 Thread Greg Raven 
BBEdit doesn't preview PHP directly, but it's pretty easy to set up Apache 
on macOS to serve PHP pages, and then use that from within BBEdit to 
preview pages.

Plenty of others have echoed my thoughts, especially as Kerri mentions opening 
gigantic files and doing search & replace, which kills most other editors.

I use the text filters (writing shell scripts/Python to process my text) 
constantly.

But the biggest ones are speed and stability. I type fast, and expect to be 
able to jump around in a document tree, and see a live preview when writing 
Markdown. Atom with a bunch of plugins is about as good as BBEdit for complex 
code and regex work, but it's unusable on big files, can slow down to a dead 
crawl, the syntax coloring can die and need a reload, and it's generally flaky, 
whereas BBEdit keeps up and keeps working. It's the Terminator of text editors.
