What do you guys use to edit WML?

Post by **Ken_Oh** » March 10th, 2006, 8:57 pm

In Win I was just using WordPad until I started receiving errors that referenced line numbers. Now I switched to a text editor called HAPedit that I use for PHP simply because it'll show the line numbers. It doesn't do anything else for it, but that's enough.

Has there been a discussion of this before that I couldn't find? What are you guys using for each OS?

I wonder if anyone thought of making a barebones editor for WML.

I use BBEdit, the bare bones editor from the Bare Bones company (I kid you not).

Edit: I use the free version, not the $100 version.

Notepad++, it's really good one, sadly only for win.

Yeah, my best friend uses a Mac and he comes off like a BBEdit fanatic. It does look cool though.

Notepad displays/searches line number when you press Ctrl+G. In some versions this possibility is not in menu, but it works anyway.

I use emacs (the One True Editor). Yesod created a fairly simple WML-editing mode for emacs here. I've been thinking of doing some enhancements to Yesod's code (since I do have some experience with elisp and emacs-mode programming), but haven't gotten around to it yet.

The One True Vi. And JEdit. And nvi. And TextEdit for quick things. I used to use Emacs, but after I started using vi, i found it to be much too clunky and slow compared to vi. JEdit is really nice, but I don't know any java, so I can't make an editing mode for it though.

Notepad++. User Defined Syntax Highlighting.

I just use plain old Notepad/Wordpad. And when I want to track down an error line number I insert a blank line somewhere.

I've recently started using TextWrangler (also by bare bones. free. for mac)
Though it has problems with UTF-8 encoding, I rather like it.
All open files are placed in tabs instead of new windows, and it has powerful multi-document search/replace fuctions, as well as a diff.
Yes, i could get the same functionality through terminal commands, but i'm much happier using a GUI.
