Taco HTML Edit 3.0.0

Taco HTML Edit is a software product for Mac OS X. It is designed to simplify the process of creating attractive web sites that render correctly in various browsers. Taco HTML Edit includes tag wizards, which generate HTML markup for you. Taco HTML Edit also helps find errors in your HTML markup, and it can even check spelling in your documents. For those people who use PHP scripts in their development, Taco HTML Edit includes tools for PHP management.

Component Library
The Component Library allows you to select one of 22 components, customize it, and insert it into an HTML document. From Slideshows to Pie Charts, from Accordion Controls to Scrollable Tables, the Component Library has the widgets that web designers have often wanted to add to web pages, but until now have been very encumbering. The Component Library revolutionizes how web designers create web pages. Learn More…


Code Coloring
As you edit your document, Taco HTML Edit colors your markup to make it easier to read and navigate. The coloring is customizable; you can even set the background of your documents to be semi-transparent, so you can see windows behind the frontmost one. Taco HTML Edit supports coloring for HTML, PHP, CSS, and JavaScript syntax.

Preview
Taco HTML Edit allows you to preview your HTML and PHP documents as you edit them. Taco HTML Edit provides a convenient menu for previewing in Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, Opera, and Safari. You can also specify any application as the default application for previewing. When you preview a PHP document, Taco HTML Edit will first pre-process it with your local PHP installation, so that you can view the final results.


Code Completion
Taco HTML Edit has code completion, to help you learn and remember HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP names for tags, attributes, and functions. Suggested completions include links to the relevant documentation, and a brief description of the selected choice. Support for HTML5 and CSS3 is included.

Syntax Checking
Taco HTML Edit supports HTML Transitional syntax checking, so you can ensure that there are no mistakes in your HTML documents. Taco HTML Edit also includes built-in support to check the syntax of HTML resulting from a processed PHP document. Taco HTML Edit can automatically organize the tags in your documents, so that your HTML tags are indented based on how deep they are nested.


Live Preview
In addition to normal document previewing, Taco HTML Edit has Live Previewing, which allows you to see changes in how your document renders while you are editing it. This can be very useful for fine-tuning the appearance of a document, as you can instantly see how changes in a color or other parameter will affect the appearance of your document. Live Preview will also preprocess PHP code when needed.

Code Clips
If you ever get tired of copying and pasting frequently used pieces of markup, then Taco HTML Edit's Code Clips will alleviate your problems. Code Clips allow you to easily store, manage, and access frequently used segments of markup. With Code Clips, you can assign keyboard shortcuts (Command + 0-9) to insert a clip into a document. You can also insert clips through Taco HTML Edit's Code Completion panel.

System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher.

Version 3.0.0:

Enhancements for Mac OS X 10.7:
Autosave: Documents are automatically saved while you edit them; it is no longer necessary to manually save documents in Mac OS X 10.7. "Save As…" is replaced by the "Duplicate" command.
Versions: Allows you to view and restore previous versions of a document.
Resume: Taco HTML Edit now supports Resume, so it will restore open windows after quitting and re-opening the app.
Full Screen: Edit documents in full-screen mode.
Component Library:
Two new Components: Video Player and Modal Dialog. Video Player makes it easy to add HTML5 video to your web pages, with an optional Flash Player fallback. Modal Dialog allows a dialog with a translucent overlay to appear over your web page, showing any HTML content you specify.
Slideshow has been enhanced to allow different image scaling behavior, so that images can either fill the entire canvas or be scaled down so that no part of the image is cropped.
Form Calendar has new options to start the week on Monday and to customize day name abbreviations.
Paginated Image Scroller has been renamed "Image Carousel" and has drop shadows with a better visual appearance.
Error Checking:
The Error Checking user interface has been completely revamped in Taco HTML Edit. The "Check Document for Errors" command will now find errors in HTML, PHP, CSS, and JavaScript that appears within the document.
PHP error checking now executes the PHP code, just like for previewing a PHP document. This allows both syntax and runtime errors to be reported by the error checker.
CSS error checking is the most advanced on the planet, based on the working drafts of the W3C CSS3 specification.
Taco HTML Edit now can find syntax errors in JavaScript code.

Editing Enhancements:
Code Folding allows you to collapse text segments in the editor, with disclosure triangles appearing in the document gutter to provide fold suggestions. Taco HTML Edit will remember and restore your folds if you don't edit a document externally.
Navigator shows an outline of your HTML, PHP, JavaScript, or CSS document, allowing you to quickly move to a different location. Links to other documents are represented with an arrow in the Navigator, which can be clicked to open the link.
New menu command for commenting/uncommenting code.
Additional text encoding support: Taco HTML Edit now includes support for dozens of text encodings.
New commands for finding non-ASCII characters and replacing them with HTML character codes.
