I have been trying to use <video> and <audio> tags but then while they play respective videos and audio as website, they won't play on Textastic local mode. It could be certain combination of tags but after hours of troubleshooting, I haven't been able to figure this out. Is there known facts about media?

Aloha,

I found the following two tool useful in creating templates:

1. To escape the characters that need escaping:

http://www.freeformatter.com/java-dotnet-escape.html#ad-output

(the instructions in https://github.com/blach/Textastic-Customization, do not mention escaping characters beyond tabs and newlines, but one has to also).

2. To check the syntax of the json file (otherwise Textastic will not load it):

http://jsonlint.com/

I don't do java, so these two tool were very useful.

I'm having a REALLY weird bug that is spoiling my morning... 

I have these two files:

- test.html

- js/waterbug.js

I've done this a dozen times now, and whenever I:

1) edit the JS file

2) navigate up the tree back to the HTML file and hit preview,

upon hitting "done" and returning to the editor the HTML file is overwritten with the contents of the JS file.

If I'm editing the JS file, when I return to it just after preview it gets overwritten with the contents of the HTML file.

It's really weird and unsettling, plus I've lost a bunch of changes already - even though the JS file is saved on my SFTP server, the HTML file wasn't...

Are you planning to implement CSS3 and HTML 5 in Textastic ?

 Thanks for this app thought, it's a must-have. But with this, it would be greater.

It seems that Textastic does not switch encoding neither from current file menu nor from wrench one.

I have some files with Windows CP-1251 encoding. Switching between different encoding options have no visual effect. Also after applying changes encoding remains utf-8.

Switching between fonts doesn't take any effect.

What i'm doing wrong?
