WordPress won’t turn website addresses automagically into clickable links.  You need to use the Hyperink tool in the text editor to do that.

This is a website address:  http://www.google.com.  Notice that it’s not clickable.

To make a link (or any text) clickable, select the text using your mouse then click on the Hyperlink tool.  Enter the address in the resulting dialog.

This is how a clickable link looks.

Add controls to the text editor

• Click the Kitchen Sink control button to add a second row of tools to the text editor.
  
• When clicked, the second row appears.
  
• When you create or update a post, don’t forget to use the Spellcheck and Proofread tool!
  

Seleksi kolom biasanya hanya bisa dilakukan kalau kita menggunakan tabel atau aplikasi spreadsheet. Namun kadang kita memerlukan pemilihan teks tertentu yg berada pada kolom pada tulisan yang bukan berbentuk tabel.

Kate adalah teks editor seperti teks editor kebanyakan, namun ia memiliki kemampuan untuk seleksi mode kolom. Untuk melakukannya klik Edit > Block Selection Mode atau dengan menekan Ctrl+Shift+B selanjutnya bisa dilakukan seleksi mode kolom pada deretan teks yang ada pada suatu kolom.

Openoffice Writer juga mampu melakukan seperti halnya Kate. Caranya kita mesti mencentang Block Area dari menu Edit > Selection Mode > Block Area (Alt + Shift + B)

VIM juga mampu melakukannya. Tapi… Ok nanti dilanjut deh. Masih banyak lagi teks editor melakukan seleksi kolom untuk keperluan tertentu.

TeXnicCenter 2.0 Alpha 1 가 나왔습니다. 실행해 보았는데 에디터 디자인이 아주 좋아졌을 뿐만 아니라 드디어 유니코드를 지원해서 한글을 볼 수 있네요.

간단한 설정으로 TexLive(KC2008)에서 컴파일할 수 있었고 또 PDF Viewer를 SumatraPDF로 설정하니 다른 설정 없이도 forward search가 동작합니다.

Alpha버젼이니 당연히 버그들이 보입니다만 상당히 기대되는 Editor입니다.

TeXnicCenter 2.0 Alpha 1 has been released with much better looking editor window and unicode support.

In addition, I could start compiling with TexLive with minimal effort, and once I set my PDF viewer as SumatraPDF, forward search started working without any setting.

Since it is still Alpha, there are many glitches, but it looks very promising.

Così, giusto per cazzeggio e per prova (l’ennesima!) mi dilungo un poco a
descrivere come giungono le mie righette qui al blog prima che wordpress le metta online.

Innanzitutto va specificato che, salvo rarissime eccezioni, mando gli articoli al blog via mail: mi è molto più comodo così perché posso usare un text editor che mi garba e fare al file scritto tutto ciò che voglio (o quasi) prima di spedirlo. Aggiungo che scrivo da PC che montano sistemi unix, in particolare sono molto affezionato a OpenBSD.

Ho fatto uno script (di shell of course!) che mi apre un file in una directory prestabilita (il file è univoco in quanto nominato in base alla data sino al secondo – oddio se qualcuno fa scherzi l’univocità evapora!), carica il file in un editor di testo (js – una versione di joe che mi sono ritagliato su misura – oppure nedit – adesso sto provando nedit) dove il testo viene scritto usando i tags di Markdown Extra (prima usavo txt2tags). Nel file uso anche eventualmente i tag per wordpress – di default il file nuovo contiene i due tag per il titolo e la categoria che vanno poi riempiti.

Una volta finito di scrivere il post e salvato, questo o viene lasciato così com’è nella directory, senza essere spedito, e ne viene comunque salvata una versione RCS[1] oppure viene filtrato con Markdown Extra (filtro in php chiamato da un mio script apposito) e spedito via mail al blog tramite mutt – in contemporanea viene anche archiviato in una mailbox apposita divisa su base mensile. Il file spedito viene poi archiviato in maniera che risulti evidente che è stato pubblicato online e ne viene fatta una versione RCS.

Lo script infine[2] chiede se voglio scrivere ancora oppure se voglio uscire: nel primo caso si ricomincia!

Per i profani specifico bene che basta lanciare lo script e scrivere poi i testi di uno o più articoli, non devo fare niente altro; tutto il resto avviene automaticamente.

Facendo un po’ di filosofia spicciola mi chiedo se lo script sia servito a produrre i contenuti del blog o se piuttosto i contenuti del blog siano serviti come test per lo script. Qual’è il mezzo e quale il fine? O è una distinzione che non ha più senso (un po’ come le categorie del blog…)?

Note

[1] RCS sta per Revisioning Control System, un sistema usato per archiviare versioni via via modificate di codice. Permette, a partire dall’ultima versione, di risalire ad una qualunque delle precedenti ed estrarla. RCS è il sistema più semplice e pratico per file singoli – non per grandi progetti software. È naturalmente efficacissimo per tenere traccia di modifiche a file di qualunque contenuto, anche poetico! Bisogna però che si tratti di file di testo e non di binari.

[2] Sono comuqnue parole che si dicono senza dire qualcosa di definitivo – tanto per scoreggiare diciamo

Showdocument has an advanced online text editor, which allows users to work together on text files and save them online in order to work on later. This is efficient for many purposes – both educational and business-related. For example, you can use it To correct a test, do homework and projects online, work on sketches, contracts, ideas and more. In this tool and others, The Presenter(marked with a star) is in control of the web meeting, and can give & take control from others.

You either open a text document or start a new one. Users can write, edit and draw inside the uploaded document using a number of tools beside the regular pen – a marker, line tool, color changer, and eraser. To draw, click on the “draw” button, which is also used to go back to writing mode.
In case of mistakes, use the undo and redo buttons.

현재 지원 에디터는 BBEdit, MacVim, Smultron, TextMate, WriteRoom 뿐이고, 약간의 예외적인 상황에서도 불안하게 작동한다.

While I was wandering around with a face like a kicked puppy in the wake of my computer-related horror, I busied myself trying to get my notes into some kind of rational order. I carry a couple of notepads with me wherever I go, filling them up with things I need to remember or that I’ll need to deal with later. The problem is that even with the best of intentions, it’s very difficult to keep all the notes on a particular topic together. I thought about having a separate page for each category, but what do when my jottings have taken up all the space?

Luckily, with there is a computer program where my jottings can be marshalled, and my notepads can stay chaotic as ever. EditPad Lite is a text editor that allows you to open multiple documents in tabs, with easy switching back and forth amongst them. Now, I can keep my notes under separate headings and still have access to all of them in one place.

Though it is a Windows-only program, EditPad Lite can open and edit text files for UNIX or Mac systems, ending the dilemna of whether a file you need will be compatible with your system. Not only that, but EditPad Lite can also handle a variety of programming languages, meaning that if you don’t get on well with Notepad++ (which I still consider to be my favourite), you can probably do your coding just as well with this program.

Considering it’s the free version of a commercial program, EditPad Lite has several good features that come included. In addition to being easily configurable to suit your tastes or needs, EditPad Lite also automatically opens new files in instances of the program already running, saving on processing time and scrabbling around between windows.  The program has all the normal features you’d expect, from find-and-replace, word wrapping and autosaving. What is very good, if you are absent-minded or liable to change your mind with the wind, is the unlimited undo and redo function. Provided you don’t shut the file you’re working on, you can go all the way back to the beginning. If you are thinking of sending an angry email to your ex, write it in this program first.

My notes are in order, I haven’t had to hunt down the family of my local computer salesman (yet), and I haven’t had to give up more than a few megabytes on my stand-in hard drive. If you’re looking for a text editor without all the bells and whistles of Notepad++ that won’t gobble up hard drive space or make unnecessary demands, download EditPad Lite today.

TextWrangler 3.0 (2538) (2009-08-24)
Bare Bones Software, Inc.

오랜만의 업데이트. 그동안 밀린 버그 수정과 Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard 호환성 확인이 주 목적인 듯.

The text editor I always use is UltraEdit.  I bought a one-year subscription in ‘02 (for $35), and then a “lifetime subscription” with “unlimited upgrades” in ‘05 for $50.  I have to say that I bagged a good deal.   A one-year subscription now costs $50, and upgrades are $25!  (I don’t think they even offer the unlimited upgrade option anymore.)

One feature I particularly like is that I can define a button (and put it on a menu or a button bar) that will launch a web browser with a URL of my choosing, and the URL can contain the currently highlighted text.

So, for a programmer like me, I can now highlight “localtime” in a file I’m editing, click a button I defined, and I’m taken to http://perldoc.perl.org/search.html?q=localtime.  I have buttons for C/C++, jQuery, and Perl.

I also like the nifty right-click customizable menu, where I put the “add comment” and “remove comment” functions.  The editor knows which language a file I’m editing is, and adds the appropriate comments.

A few other features and then I’m done:  customizable color syntax highlighting; collapsible  blocks; built-in telnet/SSH; (s)ftp; projects; column mode; bookmarks; a scripting language; Perl-compatible regex searching; color-coded file tabs.

This is a far cry from my ASCII emacs days of yore.

Version 3.0 of TextWrangler came out yesterday. TextWrangler is an excellent text editor, especially for data cleaning, although I prefer TextMate for writing code.
