It is not so feature-rich, but it does CSS-syntax-high-lighting. I'll have to look into that :) The cool thing about SubEthaEdit (nee Hydra) is the Rendezvous-enabled collaborative editing features. The editor isn't [yet?] as full-featured as say BBEdit, Vim, or Emacs, but that feature alone is interesting enough to make SubEthaEdit interesting. This feature seems very good for any kind of XP peer programming -- which I'm sure is why it's there in the first place -- but you can also use it for spontaneous editing synchronization of a file (like, say, a config file) across multiple machines. Useful trick, sometimes. I'm curious if the Barebones folks are thinking of borrowing that feature for a future version of BBEdit... :) -- Chris Devers

It rocks. I've looked at jedit before and recall not being particularly enthused by it. I've switched my favourite browser in the past, so that's not all there is to it, but I am a big fan of BBEdit. Recently I've come to see the merits of TextEdit (OSX's SimpleText), but I wonder how much of that is just because it's a native X program rather than running under Classic... --- Thilo Planz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Another more light-weight (and very Mac OS X-like) alternative could be the award-winning SubEthaEdit.

[OT] Old BBEdit question
Okay, so I've been messing around with my website lately and in the transition to it being database driven, part of it is going over to CSS. I have an old version of BBEdit (4.5.3 on macclassic) and I was wondering if someone has made a CSS language to get the colors to highlight correctly. I'd get a newer version of the program if it didn't cost so darn much (and if I weren't such a poor college student), so that isn't really an option. ~wren __ Do you Yahoo!?
