Comments on: SubEthaEdit vs BBEdit http://www.darcynorman.net/2005/03/27/subethaedit-vs-bbedit/ just a lowly edtech geek, mumble mumble university of calgary Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:18:11 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ross http://www.darcynorman.net/2005/03/27/subethaedit-vs-bbedit/#comment-79726 Ross Wed, 31 Dec 1969 17:00:00 +0000 #comment-79726 Nice article. I, like you, have been using BBEdit for a long time, mainly at work. I am currently a student and looking to get personal copies of most of the software I use at work. I was a bit surprised to find that BBEdit's educational discounts aren't so great, which is making me think about switching to SubEthaEdit. And again, like you, the most important feature for me is being able to re-format text. (I took me a few days to get my Source Profile file just right! :P) Anyway, I'd like to hear more about your SubEthaEdit experiences, and if I figure out my own solutions I'd gladly share them with you. Take care, and maybe I'll see you around at Peet's or something. :) Nice article. I, like you, have been using BBEdit for a long time, mainly at work.

Anyway, I’d like to hear more about your SubEthaEdit experiences, and if I figure out my own solutions I’d gladly share them with you.

Take care, and maybe I’ll see you around at Peet’s or something. :)

Now if I can only search and replace multiple files... :) Follow up:

Now if I can only search and replace multiple files… :)

It doesn't do <em>exactly</em> what I have in mind, but gets me much closer... It doesn't do the re-indenting, but handles cleaning up XHTML quite nicely. I've added it to both of my systems.
