A collection of Packages and Clipping Sets for BBEdit.

Packages

CoffeeScript

Codeless Language Module

• Keywords and predefined names

• String coloring, including multi-line and block strings

• Regular expressions (including block regular expressions) are colored as strings.

• Comments (line and block)

• Function folding and names in the function popup. It'll match functions like this:

  square = (x) -> x * x

  Or this:

  grade = (student) ->
    if student.excellentWork
      "A+"
    else if student.okayStuff
      if student.triedHard then "B" else "B-"
    else
      "C"

  Or class methods, like this:

  move: ->
    alert "Slithering..."
    super 5

  Or even this:

  String::dasherize = ->
    this.replace /_/g, "-"

  Note that, due to a limitation of BBEdit's codeless language modules, nested functions will not be parsed.

• Function lookup in the MDN Reference Library

Scripts

• Compile - Run file through the CoffeeScript compiler and open the resulting JS file.
• Show Javascript - Run file through the CoffeeScript compiler and show the resulting JS (does not save file to disk).
• Run - Runs the file and opens a new window with the results.
• Run Selection - Runs the selected lines and opens a new window with the results. Note that the entire line will be run, even if it is only partially selected.

Jade template engine

Codeless Language Module

• Keywords and predefined words
• Comments, including multi-line block comments and HTML-style comments
• Blocks map to functions, so block names show up in the function pop-up and can be folded.

Stylus CSS framework

Codeless Language Module

• Keywords and lots of predefined names
• Look up CSS properties in the MDN Reference Library
• Comment syntax coloring (both // and /* */ syntax)
• Function/mixin folding and names in the function popup
• String coloring
