For those who want to use GoLive and PageMill to create their web sites, BBEdit 6.0 contains cleaner tools to make the HTML more consistent with standards. Throughout construction of a web site in BBEdit 6.0, users can find the resources they need in either the HTML Tools palette or the drop- down menus at the top of the program. Additionally, the program allows users to set preferences for an extensive variety of tasks. The HTML portion of the program fully supports drag and drop creation of files or links, special characters, symbols, and Greek letters. New in this edition is one-button previewing of files in the major browsers.
Users can also compare and find differences in files, folders, and projects.
The editing portion of BBEdit 6.0 is also feature-filled. The editor can handle programs up to 2 GB, depending on the amount of RAM available. Among the editing features included in the program are multiple undo and clipboards, hard or soft text wraps, built-in text transformations such as changing cases, multiple file search and replace, a quick search window, file grouping for organization of work, split editing windows, and a floating window list. The program allows the opening and viewing of any Quick Time- supported file and offers extensive support for AppleScript, including palettes and script actions. BBEdit 6.0 also eliminates the need for a separate FTP program, having that feature built-in.
