First Look: BBEdit 9.0, text editor |
Many computer professionals need to work with text for writing, designing web pages using HTML code, or writing programs in a variety of languages such as C++, Ruby, or Python. While you could use a word processor, web page designer, or text editor to write code, many of these programs focus on helping you create text, but lack specific features for manipulating text. If you need to create, edit, and manipulate text, you need a professional text editor such as BBEdit 9.0.Writing code, whether you use HTML or C++, means typing multiple lines of commands. The more commands you type, the harder it can be to read and understand. To increase readability, this editor offers Code Folding, a simple feature that selectively hides chunks of code from view. Now you can focus on the text that you really want to edit without the distraction of irrelevant code getting in your way. |
