It would be great if you could replace certain code with edited code in the whole project

Epub zipping

waynewongrj 8 years ago in iPad 0

Hi,


I use Textastic regularly, and I’m a big fan.


Lately, I have been working on EPUB files, which need to be zipped in a particular way, with the mimetype file remaining uncompressed. Details are discussed here:


ePub Zip/Unzip AppleScript application for Mac OS X


This complex EPUB zipping currently requires me to use a Mac/PC app or command line to accomplish it. However, if Textastic could build it in as an action that could be performed on a folder like regular zipping, then Textastic could be used as a basic EPUB code editor on an iOS device. That would be great for those who need to edit the code of an EPUB when a Mac/PC is not available. It would also make Textastic even more unique in the App Store!

Marek 9 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 9 years ago 1

Please take a look how font selection works in the Ulysses app on iPad. Without any problem I can use there my favorite monospace font 'Operator' http://www.typography.com/blog/introducing-operator I would like to have this possibility in Textastic as well. Please make it possible to choose any font from ones installed on iPad. Many thanks

Add shortcut for copy, cut and paste

Guy Ozery 12 years ago in iPad updated by Neal Sofge 2 weeks ago 6

Hi,


First of all, I downloaded your app couple of month ago but only now started working with it and its great!


One really annoying thing I encounter many time is the ability to copy paste selections. 

The main problem is if I use the arrows to move in the code I then long press on the text in order to receive the copy paste dialog, many time I miss the exact location and start all over again. 


You have many useful shortcuts above the keyboard but copy, paste and cut in my opinion is the most important one. 


As programmers we always copy and paste code from place to place. 

Please consider adding those shortcuts somewhere... maybe on the floating control (even if real-estate is the concern, add it as a possibility in the configuration... It can save so much time and effort when programming on the iPad without external keyboard) 


Many thanks,

Guy

Selecting text without keyboard.

Pavel Nikolajev 12 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 1

When I select text and keyboard is hidden I can only "copy" and "select all". 

I would prefer to have "cut" option as well. Maybe even all the same options as when keyboard is shown.

Thanks

Would be nice to add, to the built-in preview, a responsive design mode for mobile phones with the ability to scale the view port by dragging the corners.

PLEASE Add an option to automatically clear the search box when opening it. Having to constantly clear the prior search query EVERY time is a real drag!

MultiMarkdown File Transclusion

Dany Gauthier 6 years ago in iPad updated 3 years ago 4

In Textastic manual, I saw that Textastic uses MultiMarkdown library for previewing Markdown.

When looking at the MultiMarkdown syntax guide, there is something called "Transclusion":

https://rawgit.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown-6-Syntax-Guide/master/index.html


Unfortunately, when I use Textastic for iOS, I am unable to make transclusion work.


I do not know which MultiMarkdown version is used by Textastic, but I do know that feature exists since at least version 4:

http://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-4/transclusion.html


I would really like file transclusion to work. For example, I would set all my links inside one file, and reference it from my other files. Or, I would put reusable content in some files and reference them from other files. Or I would create one file per chapter and reference all chapters from a main markdown file. etc. etc.


Is file transclusion something that have been tought about? Is it something that can be enabled?

Answer

Textastic 9.8.7 now uses MultiMarkdown 6 and supports file transclusion: 


Use {{some_other_file.md}} in a Markdown file to include other Markdown files.

See https://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-6/syntax/transclusion.html for details.
