Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Cecily Walker]

Based on what you've written, it (sort of) sounds like Ulysses will do what 
you want, but it would mean buying another application.  It doesn't exactly 
integrate with BBEdit, but you can import text files into Ulysses and 
manage them there. http://ulyssesapp.com

BUG! Composing indigenous literacy books... Please help me make a textfactory that'll help new readers!

[Christopher Jones]

Hey all! Thanks for your attention! 

I am a linguist, and I've recently documented a BRAND NEW language (by NEW 
i mean 'ANCIENT'... but newly 'discovered'...). There are less than 1,000 
people on the planet that speak this language, but they really want an 
indigenous literacy program, and to be able to read and write their own 
language. I'm living with them, and will be helping them to realize this 
dream.

That said... I'm using a syllable-based literacy lesson-plan, and have done 
lots of research and documentation, and figured out the order in which I 
need to teach the syllables in their language. Now, i have to put together 
little 'reading books' for them, and am having a bit of trouble... 

Basically, we'll teach a new 'syllable' at each class session/lesson, and 
then use that new syllable with the syllables taught in previous lessons to 
'build new words' out of the syllables. We need to compose practice stories 
for our students to use their new skills on, but we can only use a limited 
number of NEW 'built words' in every little story, or we'll risk 
overwhelming our brand new readers. 

So I have an md document with a bunch of stories in it, separated by H2s:


##101
Me a.


##102
Me le.
Me a.
Me mala a.


##103
Hahe.
Hahe mele mehe.
Hahe hele mehe.
Hahe ale mehe.


##104
Hele hahe.
Mele hahe.
Hahe le.
Hahe a.


and I want to be able to churn out something like:

##101
1. Me
* a

##102
1. le
* mala

##103
1. Hahe
* mele
* mehe
* hele
* ale

##104
1. Hele
* hahe
* Mele

basically lists of all the 'new' material in each story, so that I can know 
which stories have too much 'new material, make appropriate tweaks, and 
then re-evaluate, until I keep all the 'new material' down at acceptable 
levels for each progressive lesson.

Does that make sense?

I've been doing something like this already with some grep by individually:

* deleting all punctuation
* turning all whitespace into line breaks
* processing/deleting all duplicate lines (case-sensitive)

and this has been pretty helpful, but its a pain to have to do this over 
and over again... Textfactories are perfect for this, right? 

WRONG.

I think it is a bug or something, but upon 'Processing Duplicate Lines' in 
a text factory, I t looks like maybe the first instance of duplication gets 
completely deleted or something You can try it on my sample data... the 
'Me' never makes it through the text factory, but running the operations 
individually DOES work. WTF?

Please... hook me up with some wisdom on a killer way to do this?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide, guys... I'd greatly 
appreciate it!

I'm running the latest version.
