Markdown Preview Inspector
-
Live Preview
- “Preview in BBEdit” command to preview your HTML, Markdown, and Textile code under construction. Automatically updates as the code is changed! You can also use a local preview server for preview of code generated by PHP, Perl, includes and so on; and select alternative page templates and CSS when previewing document fragments
-
with WebKit Inspector
- New in BBEdit 12: BBEdit preview windows now include access to the powerful WebKit Inspector, so that you can inspect the runtime behavior of your page, debug JavaScript on the fly, and more.
BBEdit 12 is 64-bit ready and offers over a hundred feature additions, changes, and refinements. Head over to the Release Notes Archive for copious detail.
It (still) doesn’t suck.™
In addition to its unmatched ability to process and operate on insanely large files smoothly, without missing a beat, BBEdit comes well-configured out of the box and is easy to customize to your liking.
I also like Sublime Text and VS Code for general text and code editing, and am digging Slugline and Highland 2 for screenplays.
