  BBEdit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BBEdit is a text editor originally developed for Macintosh System Software 6 and now for Mac OS X.
BBEdit is not a word processor, meaning it does not have text formatting or page layout features.
BBEdit allows the easy previewing and debugging of HTML and Perl and provides built-in prototypes for most HTML constructs.

 ATPM 6.10 - Review: BBEdit 6.0
BBEdit also has some support for WML, the Wireless Markup Language; the syntax checker and Tag Maker support WML, but there are no dialog boxes for editing WML tags (except where they overlap HTML).
BBEdit has always long been one of the most scriptable Mac applications, and with 6.0 it is even better.
BBEdit is now Carbonized for Mac OS X. There's a free update for owners of 6.0.x.

 Michael Tsai - Blog - BBEdit 8
BBEdit’s interface, long derided as behind the times, has been re-done using Nib files, and it uses sheets and drawers—where they make sense—as well as the font panel.
BBEdit 8 gets it almost right, though, and as a result this feature has been growing on me. I often have many different documents open in BBEdit, from different projects, and grouping them into a few windows makes them easier to manage.
BBEdit still uses its code-based language modules for most of the built-in languages, and so it kind of offers the best of both worlds: speed and accuracy for the common and difficult-to-parse languages, and easy extensibility for languages with standard tokenization.

 BBEdit vs. TextMate - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog
BBEdit is from a bygone era of classic pre-X Mac OS, when the hardware was known as a Macintosh not a Mac, and people actually cared what AppleScript was.
BBedit, to me, innovates in many ways, one of them being the honoring of Mac OS 9 structures with a definitely Mac OS X technology, something few applications manage to do — and something many users seem to overlook, while a large part of the community still clamors the "Mac OS 9 way was better".
The bbedit command line tool was also a pretty nice addition, as was BBEdit's ability to integrate with SFTP servers, bring Grep to the level of the average user… TextMate does innovate, for sure, but in different ways.

 ATPM 8.12 - Review: BBEdit 7.0.1
BBEdit has run natively on Mac OS X since version 6.1, and version 6.5 made it a better Mac OS X citizen by combining the OS 9 and OS X versions into a single file and adding such features as authenticated saves, a command-line “bbedit” tool, shell worksheets, and long filenames.
The BBEdit application is now BBEdit.app, an application package that contains separate executables optimized for OS 9 and OS X. The application package includes Apple Help and the 330-page PDF user manual (as of version 7, an HTML version of the manual is also available), making for easy drag installs of the application and documentation.
BBEdit now supports rectangular text selection (when not in soft wrap mode), which is particularly useful for manipulating columnar text.

 Electric Pi Journal - Review: BBEdit 8
Web Development: BBEdit is considered the best Mac HTML editor out there, and its features include a complete set of HTML and CSS tools, built in FTP and SFTP, integration with Dreamweaver, a palette for entering special HTML character entities, Web-safe color palette, color syntax for various Web related languages, and page previewing.
BBEdit 8 no longer runs in OS 9, and indeed you must have Panther, Mac OS X 10.3.5, as a minimum requirement.
BBEdit has been called "a remarkably powerful text editor for a wide range of users, from Web designers to programmers." If you have been using earlier versions, you’ll surely want to upgrade to take advantage of over 100 new features.

 Daring Fireball: BBEdit 8
The appeal of BBEdit is in its balance of powerful text-editing features and an elegant, intuitive, and unabashedly Macintosh-style interface — and where by “interface” I don’t mean in the sense of superficial cosmetic appeal, but in the deeper, interactive sense.
For a small subset of BBEdit users, this is one of the biggest improvements in the history of the app.
Document state is text-file-specific metadata; for BBEdit, this includes things like the position and size of the window, the position of the scrollbar, the current text selection range, and the text encoding used to save the file.

 BBEdit Grep Tutorial
BBEdit discusses how to use grep in the Apple Guide (and in the manual), but it may be a little short of an explanation for those unfamilar with it, so here's my explanation.
Second of all, BBEdit's grep is greedy, which means it goes for the biggest match it can, even if there are smaller matches inside it.
If BBedit stopped at the first match it found, it would only replace one space or tab at a time, which would require the search/replace to be run a lot of times to finish.

 Applelinks.com: Review - BBEdit 6.5
For those who don't know about BBEdit, here's a quick quote from my previous review of BBEdit v6.0; "Bare Bones bills BBEdit as a '...high-performance HTML and text editor for the Macintosh,' but that doesn't do it justice.
Using BBedit's "Find" feature, I simply searched the entire directory of sites (including nested folders, of course) for "© 2001" and replaced it with "© 2002." I didn't even have to tell it to save the changes, BBEdit does that automatically, then generates a report of the saved changes.
BBEdit is now one application for both OS X and the classic OS.

 O'Reilly Network -- BBEdit: Its Unix Support Doesn't Suck Either, Part 1
BBEdit is a rock-solid editor that offers many useful features and contains some very good support for accessing Unix commands, tools, and scripting languages.
BBEdit (Bare Bones Text Editor) was created by Rich Siegel, and began its life when he was at THINK in 1989.

When you run a filter, BBEdit passes the selected text to the filter, runs the specified filter, and overwrites the original text with the output of the filter.
BBEdit comes with some example filters and scripts for you to play with.
If BBEdit encounters a syntax error while parsing the source file, it displays its "error browser." The error browser provides a convenient interface for displaying errors, enabling you to quickly locate them in your code.

 cgi-bin.com: Hosted Article: Using BBEdit by Lucy A. Snyder
BBEdit is a very cool, extremely useful text editor available only for Macintosh.
BBEdit is not a word processor: you won't be able to change the font of your text or change its layout, etc. BBEdit is designed as a good environment for writing HTML and program code.
The closest Windows analog to this program is HomeSite, but BBEdit offers features (such as being able to split your document viewscreen, which makes comparing/moving code very easy) that make it my absolute favorite HTML editor.

I do quite a bit of work from the Terminal (well, iTerm, really) command line, and the new BBEdit Unix tool is useful in all the ways I wish the previous versions were.
BBEdit has unnecessarily given us an inordinate amount of keyboad commands and mouse movements to do something that should be much simpler.

 Mac OS Journal - November 2000
BBEdit is clearly the result of this long chain of evolution, but is also thoroughly and completely a Mac program.
But I paid for it after using the free BBEdit Lite version for only a few days, so I can attest to how impressed I was at that point in its evolution.
Learning BBEdit, though a long task if you want to benefit from all of its many options, is made as easy as possible by the wealth of documentation from various sources.

 O'Reilly Network -- BBEdit 6.1 for Mac OS X
I'm going to mention some of my favorite features, and then give you a general feel for how the Carbonized version performs on Mac OS X. Bare Bones has also released BBEdit Lite for Mac OS X. This is the free version that gives you unlimited use of its features.
The one thing I absolutely love about BBEdit is the ability to save a document with the file creator, "save state," and line breaks of my choosing.
When you choose "save as" for a BBEdit file, click the Options button to reveal a new dialogue box that provides choices for the various save states.

 The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
Pretty spiffy, especially when you consider that BBEdit doesn't do this out of the box.Note that, since AutoPairs is a preference pane plug-in, it won't work under Rosetta, though the developer promises that a universal version is in the works.
BBEdit is the grand daddy of text editors on the Mac, though I prefer TextWrangler myself.
BBEdit is one of those big ticket applications that the Mac OS would be naked without.Thus, Barebones went about creating an universal binary so that BBEdit will run on the Intel Macs that are coming sooner, or later (depending on what rumor sites you read).

I’ve put together a Codeless Language Module for BBEdit 8.0 that implements basic syntax highlighting for Haskell.
I haven’t tried getting function scanning to work, but my feeling is that it can’t be done within BBEdit’s current system.
An alternative would be to use BBEdit’s support for Exuberant Ctags, but that doesn’t support Haskell either.

BBEdit is a nice editor for Mac OS X. It permits invoking any Unix script, including Ruby, within the program.
The readme that accompanies the language plugin is rather old (2001) and explains where to install the plugin for older versions of BBEdit (OS 9 / OS X).
If you have a newer version of BBEdit (an app "package" strictly for OS X), just drop the Ruby plugin onto the BBEdit icon.
