BBEdit 16 - Part One - Preview

BBEdit has been the gold standard Mac text editor since 1992, and version 16 is the best it's ever been. In this first of a multi-part series, Lee takes you on a complete tour of the app from the ground up, starting with what BBEdit actually is and why it's useful to far more people than just developers and coders. Whether you're a writer working in Markdown, a blogger managing a website, or simply someone who works with text and wants a tool that gets out of the way and lets you get on with it, BBEdit probably has something valuable to offer you.

Lee covers everything you need to get comfortable and productive in BBEdit 16: the window and all its components, the Navigation Bar, Text Options, the Status Bar, File State, working with multiple files, and much more. You also learn about using BBEdit as a writing tool, including Markdown editing and the built-in live preview.
