Yeah, my new 'box' arrived a few weeks ago <G>. Umax Mac clone, 266MHz G3
with 1Mb back side cache and 128Mb RAM. It's a lot of fun! I installed
Virtual PC but find it agonizingly slow. Not unusable, but more than
annoying.
I've switched over from Homesite to BBEdit Pro v4.5. Which leads me to the
point of this post. I would appreciate it if some of you BBEdit Pro users
out there would comment. This program seems to have some quirks, though it
certainly has powerful features and the more I use it and learn it (just
the HTML functions and a few of the basic things so far) the more I like
it. But...
#1 - In Edit / Preferences / Editor, I have "Soft Wrap Text" checked and
"Wrap to Window Width" checked. But BBEdit won't do it. Files I open just
go right off the right side of the window. I've played with the settings,
and yes I'm clicking "Save" before exiting the Preferences window. Now,
these are HTML files that I created on my PC and have since opened,
modified and saved in BBEdit. Is it perhaps because I did not create these
files from scratch in BBEdit, but imported them in from the PC that
explains why it won't wrap the lines in these files?
#2 - I prefer my HTML tags lower case. Of course, BBEdit has a Preferences
setting for HTML Tags to be lower case. I have that selected. All the tags
I have it insert are lower case _except_ the <BR> tag: it always comes in
upper case! Really a trivial thing to be sure, but I find it annoying :>)
This seems like a bug to me.
#3 - the "Check HTML" syntax checker function seems completely screwy. It
gives me all sorts of errors like "<TR> not allowed in content of <FONT>"
and "<HTML> not allowed in content of <FONT>" when I know there is nothing
wrong. In fact the error messages don't even make sense. The latter for
example, it points to the final tag in the document, which as usual is
</html> as having a problem. Hell, there are no tags after it? What could
be wrong? Almost all the "errors" it picks up are bogus or nonsensical.
Otherwise it's a hell of an HTML editor, and I've barely scratched the
surface of what it can do. But these three things are a real
disappointment. Any ideas?
