Chris Casciano’s Place Name Here

AHHHHHHH!!!

Looks like the update Textmate pushed yesterday changed (or jut broke) the way the editor handles XHTML vs. HTML and now all the tags I have it generate are being added in HTML fashion (eg. <img> vs. <img />). Before I think it just autodetected based on doctype (i dunno, I just never had to think of it before).

Help me change it back please.

(sorry for the whine, but I’ve got a pile of coding on my plate and no time to fiddle with stuff.. guess i shouldn’t have taken the update yesterday knowing the situation.. but silly me thought it was just a easter egg thing)

I was never a really passionate BBEdit user though it worked great and was my Mac editor of choice for a good while, but I have to say that I still found it a bit strange that my first reaction when hearing that BBEdit v8.5 was released was, well, a non-reaction.

I guess that’s as convincing a sign as any that I’ve completed the move to Textmate.

There are still a few things I prefer from my BBEdit days, in particular I think the search and replace interface is better, and Textmate like any other product is not without flaws—some of which I may run down in another post—but Textmate has otherwise won me over and makes me feel very comfortable.
