Re: Best way to filter HTML
Another manual method that I use a lot for this sort of thing: First copy-paste the whole doc into a new window. Search and replace all the EOL characters so you've got one big line. Search and replace p itemprop=articleBody with \n000 target: Search and replace /p with \n Select Process Lines Containing, finding lines containing 000 target: , copying lines to new document. In that new document, search and replace the 000 target: with . Now your new document should contain just the stuff you want. When I type it out like this it seems like a lot of work, but it's really not.

Re: BBedit is taking up to 16 seconds to save all files
If it were happening to me, here's some chat about how I'd start diagnosing. If you start BBEdit, then do the following: 1. command-N 2. command-S 3. Enter Does your machine lock up for some period of time? If not, at what point does the delay occur? If you type a bit of text, then copy and paste over and over, does the delay begin at some point? Are you saving to an external drive? Does saving to a different drive behave differently? How about logging in as a different user?

Re: BBedit is taking up to 16 seconds to save all files
I'll explain my questions a bit more. If it happens with a new, blank document, that would point to something endemic to BBEdit itself in your configuration. If it does not happen to a new, blank document, that points to something related to the documents you are saving. I imagine you are the only user on the computer. However, if you create a new user and try the same thing while logged in as that user, the results can help illuminate whether it is a global problem with BBEdit or the OS, or perhaps an issue limited to your user account. I apologize if I've given offense. BBedit 10.5.x, on my machine, does not behave this way. Something is different between your machine and mine. I'm just asking questions by way of trying to ascertain what the differences might be.
