Using BBEdit with Dreamweaver (Macintosh only)

When BBEdit integration is turned on, once you have a document open in both BBEdit and Dreamweaver, switching from one application to the other automatically updates the document with the latest changes. In addition, both programs track the current selection; for example, you can make a selection in Dreamweaver and then switch to BBEdit, where the same element will be selected.

You can disable BBEdit integration if you prefer working with an older version of BBEdit or a different HTML text editor. Selections are not tracked if BBEdit integration is turned off.

To use BBEdit with Dreamweaver:

1 Choose Edit > Edit with BBEdit.
2 Edit the document in BBEdit.
3 Click the Dreamweaver button on the HTML Tools palette in BBEdit to return to Dreamweaver.

To disable BBEdit integration:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences, and select File Types/Editors.
2 Deselect Enable BBEdit Integration and click OK.
