Textures & BBEdit

BBEdit is a commercial software product of Bare Bones software. Brad Hanson has written a great BBEdit plug-in that implements Textures Apple Event suite.

The plug-ins that work with Textures 2.1 will only work with the demo or the full version, not the lite version. The demo version has everything that the full version allows you to do, except saving. The lite version is a stripped-down older version, but allows you to save your work. These plug-ins work with BBEdit 3.5.1 or later.

To use BBEdit with Textures:

  1. Purchase BBedit or download the demo BBEdit.
  2. Get the plug in from the "CD Extras" folder on the Textures® CD in the "Textures BBEdit Plug-Ins" folder inside of it. Or download it from the plugins area on our FTP server. You can also download it from Brad's web site.
  3. Open up the corresponding Plug-In folder for your BBEdit. If you are using BBEdit 5.1.1 or higher, then open "Plug-In 3.0 (BBEdit 5.1.1)". If you are using BBEdit 3.5 through 5.1.0, then open "Plug-Ins 2.0".
  4. Move "Close Textures Job", "Run Textures" and "Textures" from the "Textures 2.1" archive into the "BBEdit Plug-Ins" folder.

If you have any problems downloading any of the above items, please write us.

Note: Synchronicity is somewhat limited with BBEdit. \input or \include files referred to in BBEdit files cannot be opened by synchronicity from the Textures typeset window.
