Code highlighter pen option and To Do List

Post by Steve(spt) »

WeBuilder 9.2.(9.2.0.100)

I love this program ... but, I miss a code highlighter option.

How it would work, select a section of code then apply a highlighter pen colour, to the background colour (paper colour).

Could the highlited section be saved so when you reopen the file the highlighted section would still be shown

A toggle to turn off all highlighted code sections, and may be a menu to chooce which highlighter pen colour to use.

Often when working on a web page project I come across other tasks to do with the project that I have forgot about so...
How about a TO Do list for each project?

A simle list of some kind that items can be added to, and check bos to say if its been done. This would be great if a team of people are working on one project and you need to check if
on of the To Do ltems have been finished.

Many thanks for a super tool.

For a 'todo' list, you can create a .todo file, which you can open in WeBuilder. Just tell WeBuilder that it can open .todo files. You can create something in it like this:
[x] Do something
[ ] Do something
[ ] Do somthing
[x] Do something


Ok, so its not brilliant, but its perfectly workable. ;)

better from file comments:

config.php

Code: Select all

<?

  // TODO: todo-action

  // TODO: todo-action 2

?>
and bottom of screen or at left part opening all todo-list generating at this (or in all opened) file.

I was of the "just use a text file" way of life until I used textmate and realized just how (possibly) simple to implement and handy to use the feature is.

Textmate uses the @TODO syntax in the comments. When you open the to do list, it offers you the option of setting them to "completed" and changes the text in the file from @TODO to @COMPLETED. It's a pretty neat little utility that basically is just a regex with a dialog. a little snippet to change the text of any of the parsed @TODOs and that's it (I imagine).

Maybe the a "BIG:" feature of 10.0 is an internal JS engine! :) If I could run JS inside of webuilder to manipulate my page, I could roll my own TODO list and share it with other users. In jquery, it'd be like 10 lines of code. :D

A man can dream, can't he?
