SubEthaEdit Icon   What's new
 

New in SubEthaEdit 2.1:

Command Line Tool
The new command line tool is the perfect companion to anyone who tends to work with Terminal.app more often than not. It supports piping, waiting and resuming so you can do all sorts of nifty stuff like e.g. curl codingmonkeys.de | see -m HTML, or setting SubEthaEdit as your $EDITOR to use it to write e.g. commit logs. (export EDITOR='see -wr') For a detailed description of all features, type man see at the command line.

All new Printing
Printing has been greatly improved in this version. Like most features it is customizable per mode in the preferences, so you can have different setting for C-code than for plain text. You also can customize your print-out in the SubEthaEdit pane of the print dialogue. Beside standard features like adding header details (date, filename), margins and font/color preferences you can also specify to print-out collaborative metadata, including a list of participants, annotated authorship information and background coloring for color prints.

HTML Export
HTML Export has been added in two ways. You can either export a whole document to HTML to save that collaborative session including the authorship metadata or use the "Edit/Copy as XHTML" feature to convert a selected code snippet, including color and indention, to HTML and paste it on your website.

Authenticated open and save
SubEthaEdit 2.1 allow you to authenticate as Administrator to edit files you don't have permission to edit otherwise. (like e.g. /etc/httpd/httpd.conf)

Syntax Styles
Syntax Styles give you the power to customize colors, fonts and font style of any mode to your likings. You can even export your style and share it with your friends or community. Customizing is done in SubEthaEdit/Preferences/Styles in a nice and convenient WYSIWYG fashion.

Better AppleScript support
Collaborative features like Sharing, Announcing, Access Control, etc are now scriptable. We also improved scriptability of basic editing features.

Improved tabulator handling
You can now convert tabs to spaces and vice versa in the Format menu. We also fixed some issues with tabs and various features, like e.g. block-edit and indentation.

New features of SubEthaEdit 2.0 you might not know:

Regular expression search and replace
Find and replace with the power of regular expressions. Choose between eight different regex flavor ranging from POSIX to Perl and Ruby. Use the all new Find All functions to show a list-of-found that also can be refreshed.

New collaboration feature: Invitations
Now you don't have to wait anymore for others to join your documents. If you need help, invite them by dragging them onto your document. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

Read only access for shared documents
If you don't want people to change your text but give them a glimpse at it, set them to read only. Like that they can see your text, but can't change it.

300% more efficient network protocol
The new network protocol brings new features, faster data transfer and better scalability.

Splitview
Split your windows for twice the editing fun!
