Hey Party People,

Had occasion to customize one of the HeroDesigner templates and went out and grabbed myself a nifty text editor for the job.

TextWrangler can be found here (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.shtml) and is the next generation tool from the Bare Bones Software, the folks that created BBEdit and BBEdit lite (which I used to use back in my web design days.)

I got the Mac OS version... they may have it for other platforms...

Hey,

Glad you liked it...

I'm amazed at what widgets you can get for free these days!

I'm using BBEdit myself.

The BBedit folx seem to be saying that TextWrangler is the son of BBedit...

Although I certainly have fond memories of BBedit and BBE Lite...

Well, I've used both and BBEdit has numberous features I use and need that TextWrangler, being a free app, doesn't. At least for HTML layout.

Thanks for the heads-up, CorPse! Downloaded it this morning and used it to modify some HD export templates... :D

Sweet, the Template-Man himself!

I modified one of your templates (that had in turn been modified) in order to make something that was PM Wiki compliant. (Who knew there were different flavors of wiki?) Unfortunately, I can't post it to the HD Vault because I don't have a current service contract.

Would you be willing/interested in posting it? You can find it attached to this post:

I know you might not have a reason to ever visit this thread again, so I might stoop to bothering you with a PM if you don't find this...
