Markdown kinda does this, although if you are working in a document that already has html coding, this won't be for you.

It might help if you were a bit more explicit about what you're looking at. For example, if you simply have a list of links or e-mail addresses, this is trivial. If you're trying to scan thousands of pages of html files, it becomes more difficult.

What do you mean by "format"?

Ronald

By formatting, I mean a script that will find instances of:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and turn it into:
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>


And the same thing with URLs

Find:
www.barebones.com

or

http://www.barebones.com

and format it as:

<a href="http://www.barebones.com";>www.barebones.com</a>.

Is there a grep pattern to format email addresses and web site addresses? Or does BBEdit have a built in tool to search and replace for these? I tried creating a text factory file, but there was no setting to format these links.

Thanks,

John

Gregory,
I prefer to use the keyboard for common commands, but I have some
pretty awkward commands mapped to things that are "secondary." My
most frequently used items fill up the easy to hit key sets. In
Emacs, these are extended to a second layer rather than hitting a
slew of characters at once.

Being a convert from Emacs myself, I've used Quicksilver to get a
bunch more key bindings.  I've created a Quicksilver trigger that
brings up the command palette, but just focus on the BBEdit Scripts
directory and subdirectories.  Then within the BBEdit Scripts
directories I've created Applescripts for the things that I want to
access with sequences of keystrokes.

For example, to select the contents of a LaTeX environment I have a
script called Balance Environment (like Balance Tag for HTML).  To
activate it, I hit Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-Space (i.e., mash the bottom row of
the keyboard), then type "balen-<return>".  Quicksilver fires the
script and BBEdit does its thing.

It's a bit of work to set up, but with the record script feature in
BBEdit, it's quite nice.  This is especially so if you are already
using Quicksilver.

Cheers,

Curt



Interesting approach; I will give it a whirl. I haven't taken a look at Quicksilver for a long time since it kept crashing when I tried it.
