#title "Details" Here's a collection of important facts for BBEdit-based scripted websites. ***Automatic treatment of special Mac characters The web has a special way of indicating characters that aren't basic alphabetic and numeric characters, and the Macintosh does it a different way. When these characters are transmitted thru the web and viewed in a browser, they end up looking wrong to people who aren't using Macintoshes. The solution is easy, we pass every character thru a special filter that converts Macintosh special characters to the equivalent sequence in HTML. So you can continue to use the Mac, and have all your web pages look right. For example, if you type in Seņorita into BBEdit, the HTML produced by the macro processor will say Se&ntilde;orita. ***Automatic enabling of URLs and mail addresses This part is really easy to explain! When a URL or a mail address appears in the text of your page, the macro processor automatically turns it into a hotlink. Here are some examples: You can override it by preceding the special character with a backslash. In email addresses, the key character is the at-sign. In URLs its the pair of slashes. That's about all I can think of! It's a pretty simple feature. ***General Notes If a macro generates an error, the error message is inserted into the HTML text inside bold square brackets. Any time the macro processor sees two consecutive carriage returns a <p> tag is inserted. Any time you want to override the effect of a special character, precede it with a backslash. So if you don't want an email address to be hot, put a backslash before the at-sign. Two special markups are supported. Any line that begins with three asterisks is boldfaced. Any line that contains only three dashes becomes a separator line. ***For Frontier experts The new functionality is implemented in the bbSite suite. It automatically creates a new website table at websites.bbSite. This table does not have a glossary. We expect the BBEdit-based user to use the global glossary only, since it is accessible from the web browser menu bar, and it's simpler to understand.
