Copy markdown as HTML

[Frank Eves]

Markdown focused applications like iA Writer, Marked2 and Ulysses have an 
Edit Menu item 'Copy as HTML'. I find it handy when creating WordPress 
content. Unfortunately, for my purposes, BBEdit's Edit menu's 'Copy as 
Styled HTML' outputs more complex text. Can someone suggest an easy way to 
copy markdown as basic HTML in BBEdit?

Shortcut for inline markdown link creation

[Frank Eves]

I'd love to have an AppleScript shortcut for creating an inline markdown 
link with BBEdit. Has anyone created a script that does this?

[Title Text](Link URL)

- surround currently selected text with brackets
- copy Link URL from clipboard, surround with parentheses and place 
immediately following closing bracket

Cheers, Frank

Wow, 'Process Duplicate Lines…' is simple, but very powerful. Thank you BARE 
BONES! To clarify my use of 'Wow', popping someone's dislocated shoulder back 
into place in the ER ellicits a similar 'Wow' from the patient. :) Thanks Sam, 
Neil and Patrick.

Eliminate duplicate quotations

[Frank Eves]

I have a quotations file (< 6000 lines 364 KB) that looks like this:

---
"The universe is not only queerer than we suppose. It's queerer than we can 
suppose." -- Albert Einstein

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as if everything is a 
miracle, and the other is as if nothing is." -- Albert Einstein
---

I know some/many of the quotations appear more than once. I'd like to eliminate 
the duplicates. Assuming those duplicate lines are exactly the same, is there 
any possibility that 'Process Duplicate Lines…' can save me a lot of time? If 
not, can anyone suggest a feasible solution?

Cheers,
Frank

Re: Change default extension

[Frank Eves]

Thanks :) Until recently, I've always used '.txt' but a markdown app called 
Texts 
and this post  
got me thinking about using '.text' and so far OS X finder's QuickLook, Atom 
Editor, BBEdit, Byword, Smultron, Sublime Text, TextMate and Ulysses handle the 
new extension nicely. Time will tell.

Cheers, Frank

Change default extension

[Frank Eves]

How do I change BBEdit's default, plain text extension from '.txt' to '.text’?

OS X El Capitan 10.11.2
BBEdit 11.1.3

Re: Change default extension

[Frank Eves]

Like you, I've used personal computers for a day or two. :) My first home 
computer was a CP/M machine that used the 8.3 filename format, so, yes, I'm 
familiar with '.txt'. No argument that the '.txt' extension is the standard; 
that said, this is 2015, not the 1970s and I'd like to use '.text', so my 
question remains… My hunch is that you're correct, setting a language type that 
uses '.text' may be what I'm looking for. Is that the way to go?

Re: Reset untitled text ## numbering

[Frank Eves]

I apologize for my delay responding, I've been hospitalized.

Here's what Patrick wrote, First, BBEdit will automatically increment 
each new document's (ID) number until you quit and relaunch it, and 
there's no separate option for doing so.


Next, BBEdit will by default always preserve unsaved changes across a 
quit and relaunch, and this process will also preserve the titles of any 
open, unsaved documents. If however you do not want BBEdit to preserve 
unsaved changes, you can prevent this by turning OFF the option to 
Restore unsaved changes in the Application prefs panel.


Last, I do suggest using BBEdit's global scratchpad instead of 
individual unsaved documents for the sort of task you describe, and 
please note that if you wish, you can assign a key shortcut to the 
Scratchpad window via the Menus  Shortcuts prefs pane. (I've done this 
myself and find it very handy.)

 Why?

Thanks for responding.

Reset untitled text ## numbering

[Frank Eves]

BBEdit has recently reemerged as my favourite text editor.

My habit is to:
- hit command + n
- type and edit a little
- select all
- copy the text to another application
- delete the untitled file.

BBEdit has been autosaving my untitled files and incrementing the untitled text 
## file names. How do I reset my untitled file numbers to zero?

I suspect I should be using BBEdit's Scratchpad for this type of quick editing?

Cheers, Frank
