I'm using Text Edit to put web pages with CSS together..I have the
prefs set to save pages as plaintext, but when I save, these text
files have a Safari icon, and when I re-open them in Text Edit,
rather than seeing my toiled-over code, I see it as though looking in
a browser!
...
A couple of suggestions:
1) Rename the extension to .txt.
2) Change the first line of the file (somehow) so that it doesn't look
like a web page.
The other suggestion about TextWrangler is a good one.
Also:
- NeoOffice/OpenOffice can probably edit the source just fine.
- The built-in emacs and vi editors (access them via Terminal) will
also edit the source just fine.
