I have been trying to use textastic with less (lesscss.org) and I have been unable to get it to preview the HTML file correctly.

Fraser Graham 13 years ago updated by Pedro Grilo 13 years ago 14
I have an HTML file that includes a .less file and then the JavaScript less compiler. When I preview with textastic, Iit appears that none of the JavaScript has executed.

Are there limits on js execution in the preview?

Suggestion:
In ultraedit i have already the text files for the abb robot programing code( rapid) I missing this option in textasticapp!
Forseen that you have the option "others" in the syntax difinition list in textasticapp

then select the syntax text file , and your own code syntax is installing.


Thanks

Please honor iOS settings like Spell Checking, Auto-Correction, and Auto-Capitalization. Kudos for the good job!

Textastic doesn't apply them even if they are active system-wide.
Version 2.0
Answer
Added two options to the settings screen:

- Auto-Correction Yes/No
- Auto-Capitalization Yes/No

Both settings default to "No".

This is especially useful when editing plain text files or markdown files.

An option to turn off line numbers

Jan Rychter 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 0
Line numbers make an editor look cool, but their practical utility is near zero — no one uses them for anything except perhaps when dealing with bug reports. They do consume precious screen real estate, especially in vertical mode, and I can see less code because of them.

I'd like to see a preferences option to keep them permanently turned off, so that I can see more code on screen. An option, so that we could switch them on sometimes if needed.

PS: I *love* Textastic!

Version 3.2

This is implemented in Textastic 3.2

Different file icons

anonymous 12 years ago in General 0

I have a suggestion: Make files written in different languages have different file icons! The current icon is perfect for HTML/XML/etc, but not for languages like Java.

Answer
This is fixed for Textastic 3.1.

In the meantime, you can use this workaround:

Add the following line to your Apache config (httpd.conf):

BrowserMatch "^Textastic" redirect-carefully

Support local links to "external" files opened with iCloud Drive

Maurice Zoliker 10 years ago in General updated by Colin Wirt 9 years ago 7
Hello,

I think it would be very clever to add the possibility to "save" in local files a link to an external file opened with iCloud Drive.

Using "Recent files" is a temporary fix, but having symlink-like entries in Textastic's local files (maybe with some sort of icon or different color) would clearly help me not to constantly reopen the same files from my repositories stored in Working Copy (via "Open...").

And if the file no longer exists, just display a popup and remove the link.

What do you think of this? Am I missing an obvious solution?

Thank you for your response.

Kind regards,
Maurice

sudo for certain files

Leonardo Galli 10 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 1
I sometimes need to change for example the php.ini file, but I disabled the root login via ssh. So I would like to see an option like "upload with sudo" overwriting the existing file and prompting password / touch id.
