Hi,

I'd like to make a couple of default changes to order of some html tags. 

for example... the img tag places the 'alt' info in front of the 'src' info, for example. . .  


default settings:  <img alt="<#CDATA#>" src="<#URI#>">

what I'd like:  <img src="<#URI#>" alt="<#CDATA#>">


Would this sort of adjustment be possible to the default settings? or, should I tackle this issue by creating my own custom clipping.

I'd prefer to make changes to the default set because that way I wouldn't have the same tag appearing in the drop down list twice. 

---

On a separate note, I really enjoy using BBEdit. I try a lot of different text editors, and each of them have some nice features. But at the end of the experiments with other editors (even when I choose to buy them)... I always keep and use BBEdit as my primary editor.



Take Care,

Jim

The Help says BBEdit doesn't install any clipping sets by default. So you must have installed some manually. To edit them, go to the Clippings folder (you can get there from the Clippings menu) and open the clipping you want to edit. FWIW I just installed an HTML5 set from the web site noted in the Help (http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/clippings_library.html#gloss_html5) and the img clipping looks like this:

<img src="#placeholderstart#src#placeholderend#" alt="#placeholderstart#alt#placeholderend#">
#inline#
