MacVoices #1280: Glenn Fleishman Takes Control of BBEdit
Glenn Fleishman starts out by explaining the differences between a word processor and a text processor such as the subject of his new book, Take Control of BBEdit, then dives into the many capabilities of the program for authors, web editors and content creators of all stripes. Support for HTML and Markdown are just two of BBEdit’s capabilities. Glenn talks about both with examples of how BBEdit is used in the production of TidBITS, some work-arounds for a feature that isn’t there (yet), and how BBEdit requires some thoughtful set-up to get the most out of its power. BBEdit’s projects features, text completion, and integration with version tracking systems and much more are part of the book, and part of this introduction by Glenn.
