bbEditor Files

bbEditor 0.1 alpha

bbEditor is an editor client that creates, edits, saves and previews documents with bbCode.  The program was created out of a need to edit files that included bbCode locally and store them for later posting to websites that supported bbCode.

To launch bbEdit, execute one of the native binaries or unzip the files in bbeditor-dist.zip and use the Java command line:

java -classpath ".\dist\bbeditor.jar;.\dist\dictionary.jar;.\dist\jazzy.jar" 
  com.dsk.bbeditor.BbEditorMain

Tips for using bbEditor:

- Preview tab will render the bbCode document as HTML and display it in a
  browser.
- Clicking a hyperlink in preview will launch your system's default external 
  web browser with that link.
- Highlighting text while editing and then hitting a bbCode toolbar button like
  [b] will wrap the highlighted code in the tag.  Otherwise an empty tag is 
  created and the cursor is placed after the open tag.
- If no text is selected, the [url] tag toolbar button will prompt for a URL
  and a Description.  Pressing cancel or leaving the prompts blank will
  generate just an empty [url] tag.  Highlighting text and pressing the [URL]
  button will use the highlighted text as the description and bbCode will prompt
  for a URL.

Requirements: JDK 1.4.x

bbEditor includes the Jazzy Spell Check library.  For more information about 
Jazzy visit:  http://jazzy.sourceforge.net/

Note: bbEditor modifies Jazzy's com.swabunga.spell.event.DocumentWordTokenizer
class to ignore bbCode embedded in the text.  This small change is the only 
modification to the Jazzy code.
