[ANN] revIgniter

[stephen barncard]

Coda is great, and they have formatting/hinting/coloring for many of the
'top' languages.  Coda was built by programmers for themselves first (like
tRev and GLX) thus has many extensible features. There is complete
instructions on how to make a plugin for one's language on the
panic.comsite. I'd love (and pay for) a plug-in for Coda to 'see' rev
colors.

Having said that, and having to  'code by hand' as they say, dancing among
the languages, I really do like BBEdit with ON-REV, still the best over-all
heavy lifting  "live" text editor. Trevor Devore has made a niftly BBEDit
plugin for Rev. One can set BBEdit to automatically recognize the .irev
suffix and change the language hilighting on display. One can switch between
the language types right in the window.

Debugging:

I used to use the trace and debug stuff in the on-rev client. Now I just
code in little steps and use

set the errormode to inline

and that tells me 99% of the time why it failed, or a good clue, right there
in the browser.

I can launch a file both BBEdit or Coda directly by d-clicking on the
documents in my FTP client: I use Coda for its visual CSS editor and BBEdit
for live write-run-rewrite cycles with scripts. Really fast, the REV way. If
any handler gets a little too complicated, I can always make a local stack
and test with that, then pop the code back in.
