Espresso!
Can anybody give me a clue in what way I can use this beautiful app with Textpattern so that I can edit page templates (.html)?
Now, in Firefox, I use the extension ‘It’s All Text!’ to fire BBEdit for editing page templates. But in no way I can configure this add-on to do the same with Espresso.
Any help is welcome … :)
PS
Btw … is there a Textpattern sugar yet?

Re: Espresso!
Oh yes please, also noticed brandnew Espresso and now beg for sugar :-)
If other things I have to do are finished (uh, maybe in ten years ;) ) I’d even try to add it myself (or better help doing it, if a working group is a reasonable way to split up work?) –
maybe it would be a good idea to deliver easy txp-editing in a repository for different editor’s “add-ins”, “bundles”, “sugars” or whatever they’re called?
I myself do plain editing at the moment but I think those things are worth a try.
(BTW I once started to make txp-syntaxhighlighting for UltraEdit. But didn’t finish it.)

Re: Espresso!
Have you tried cnk_versioning? It works well together with Coda at least.

Re: Espresso!
If anyone’s interested in Espresso! it’s included as part of the MacHeist 3 bundle. Currently it’s not unlocked but with 12 days left there’s a chance it could be.

Thanks for pointing out cnk_versioning mapu I’m just about to start testing it, looks very interesting I have to say and could go very well with Espresso! and a Textpatten Sugar.

Re: Espresso!
Just to anyone who might be interested Espresso! has been unlocked from the MacHeist bundle. If you want to get it (and a load of other apps) for $39 you only have 1 day left.
mapu: I just wanted to say thank you so much for pointing out cnk_versioning, I had no idea about this plugin before and it works wonderfully. =D

Looks like a lot of people were waiting for that to become unlocked before buying as the surge in the last day has been phenomenal (probably about 3 times as much as some of the other days). I guess the developers make a not insignificant sum even if they receive only a tiny fraction of the app’s original cost, but suddenly having nearly 72,000 licensees to potentially support after 10 days would give me grey hair overnight.

Haven’t seen one but it would be good, especially if it supported code-folding for txp tags too. There is a textile sugar, though.

Re: Espresso!
I like Espresso a lot, but without support for Textpattern tags— at least recognizing .txp as XML/XHTML-style documents —I can only use it for XHTML & CSS development. I’d be willing to contribute to building a Sugar, but I can’t find any step-by-step documentation. If anyone has gotten started, I’m willing to help out!

Re: Espresso!
There is some information on how to make a sugar on this page!

Re: Espresso!
More specific infos in the MacRabbit Wiki. Here there’s mention of a tool for converting Textmate tmlanguage files so you might be able to take mario’s txp textmate bundle as a starting point (just show the package contents to see the individual files).

Re: Espresso!
at least recognizing .txp as XML/XHTML-style documents
There are some instructions here on how to add txp as an extension so that espresso recognizes it as having the language “xml/html”.
The page makes it looks complex but it is very easy. The basic process is as follows:
- extract a copy of the xml+html.sugar from the espresso program file
- copy it to your application support directory in libraries
- bump the version number of the copy in info.plist so it is loaded instead of the in-built sugar
- add
<extension>txp</extension>to languages.xml - save all the files and restart espresso
From now on all txp files in a project are rendered with the language interpreter html+xml. Code folding of txp tags works as does closing txp tags with </.
