Postscript support

Any possibility for Postscript support?  Or how about opening up the capability to define our own language rules?

Show PDF preview if a local file with the same name exists

Teddy Svoronos 9 years ago in General • 0

Many of us are using remote typesetters to produce PDFs of LaTeX documents. If I have a PDF in the same directory as a Tex file with the same name, it would be great for Textastic to treat it as a "remote file preview" so that I can browse the PDF when activating the preview window

"Zap Gremlins"

Ramon Figueroa-Centeno 11 years ago in General • 0
It would be very helpful if Textastic had a "Zap Gremlins" capability (like BBEdit), or at least a capability to identify and eliminate non-printable characters.

paste image from clipboard

Michelangelo Cofrancesco Araúj 12 years ago in General • updated 12 years ago • 2

It would be a good thing to be able to paste images copied from other apps (such like Safari or Photoshop Touch) to the clipboard into any folder... Thanks !!

Custom code definitions

RaianStar 12 years ago in General • updated 12 years ago • 2
I know we have this, but I don't know how to create one.  If we had access to the existing definition files, we could reverse engineer them and make our own without the need to create tutorials and such.

i.e. I don't like that HTML5 inserts <br /> instead of <br>.  That's HTML 4 code.  I also prefer tab over double space.  If I could see what currently exists as a default, and could edit it and save it as a custom template, that would be really useful to me.

Hi! maybe i missed this one, but is it possible to create a new file on dropbox or do you have to create the flie externally and then open it in dropbox?

Run javascript files

Coders should be able to run and test their javascript files so they can swiftly find bugs and debug the code.

Ability to download file from website

Billy Moon 11 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago • 1
I would love to have an easy way to save files from the internet into the editor. Perhaps when making a new file in textastic, have a `loaded from url` field, which downloads the content from the web before opening the new file.

I would use this feature most with cdnjs, and it would be useful for github also.

Fortran syntax highlighting of comments is bogus

Luc Bourhis 12 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 4

In Fortran, any line starting with a star is a comment line. Textastic does not honour that as exemplified by the following example.

Image 66

Note how Fortran keywords are highlighted, clearly showing Textastic believes this is regular code instead of a comment block. It gets however worse the comment features one lone single quote:

Image 67

Textastic believes that the single quote starts a string and it highlights everything following it as a string. Not shown on this picture but the string highlighting only stops at the very end of the file about 300 lines further down!


As a result, Textatic Fortran syntax highlighting is unusable in practice.

Textastic already has a Move: add ability to move to iCloud!

fjpoblam 11 years ago in General • updated 11 years ago • 5
I've purchased Textastic for all my Apple devices—iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini, and MacBook Pro. It'd certainly be nice, on the go, to be able to use the advantage of iCloud to update my many files "in unison" without having to FTP-download updates to locally-stored files! I'd move all those local files to iCloud. However, currently, I see Move, but I see no way to specify iCloud as the target. Add it!
