Re: Creating a stylesheet in BBEdit

[Steve deRosier]

Pretty simple:

1. Create a new file (cmd-N)
2. Save as with an extension of .css (cmd-shift-S), name foo.css (or whatever).

Or, without saving:

1. create a new file
2. use the little drop menu at the bottom of the frame that says
'(none)' and select CSS

Or, from terminal:

1. `touch foo.css`
2. `bbedit foo.css`

This of course applies to pretty much any file type.

There probably are even more ways, but these are the three I find the
most simple.

And if you don't see the drop menu in the bottom of the frame that says "(none)", go to Preferences > Appearance and click the "Language" box in the "Text Status Bar" section.

(I posted a similar question a couple of months ago, and that turned out to have been the problem.)
