Re: Windows alternative to BBEdit
When I was forced into the same situation, I found that SlickEdit worked best for me. NP++ is fine for quick and dirty stuff, but for real work, spend a little money. I happen to use Araxis Merge because it's fully x-platform. One key thing: If SlickEdit is being used by other people, you're best off using it's key-bindings and rebinding your BBEdit to match. That way if someone sits at your computer and drives they're not flummoxed. Otherwise, just rebind the keys to what you're used to. I usually prefer to work on a Mac with BBEdit and run Windows as a VirtualMachine. The VM mounts my Mac workspace as a network drive and I build there. - Steve On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 6:06 AM, François Schiettecatte fschietteca...@gmail.com wrote: Just did a google search for Windows Text Editors: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/6-powerful-text-editors-for-windows.html Looks like Notepad++ and UltraEdit are it.

Can anyone recommend an alternative, something closer to BBEdit or Coda? Thanks! Interesting I have the same need. I am working with someone who has a Windows Machine and I aimed him at NotePad ++ which does the basic formatting and coloring of the tags but nothing more. He looked at my BBEdit and wants a Windows equivalent with the format checking, code generation (ie: The Markup menu features), etc. Hopefully someone here can aim us in the direction of a Windows program with the same level of features as BBE. The ones I see require you to know HTML as opposed to BBE which can do the HTML template generation that can fill in the parms and tags.

All NP++ does (unless I am missing something) is to handle displaying the tags. It offers no help in coding the HTML. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.
