How to Organize Text and Programming Code


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Managing text in a single text file is a bit of a kluge. Let’s say that text happens to be code, such as PHP or CSS. You may want color highlighting, so that if you make a mistake you’ll be able to detect it easier. You want to have a text management tool at your disposal, no matter what operating system you happen to be using.

HTML to PDF

The Web address for this online tool will be astoundingly impossible to remember, but its functionality really whips the llama’s ass. It’ll create a PDF from any Web-based HTML document (read: Web page). Why wouldn’t you print to a PDF locally? (1) This HTML 2 PDF service is infinitely faster; (2) No clunky software to install; (3) It automatically strips any kind of print headers and footers; (4) It works better than the Firefox or Internet Explorer print feature! If you need to carry a document with you offline, forget about printing it locally – print it to PDF. Assuming, of course, this service lasts for free forever. If only I could convince the guy (or girl) to get and use a much better domain name. html2pdf is pretty darn nifty.

Mnemonic Web Design

I’ve been in tweak mode for the past few days, getting this blog ready to duplicate for a coming Lockergnome project (based on MultiUser WordPress). In futzing with my CSS, I’ve had to enter values for positioning left and right (literally). You can define the spacing for margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left separately – or you can define the spacing for all four (or less) in a single margin property. Employing “margin: 10px 3px 3px 10px” is easy. The trouble is, I could never remember which one was for which position! But I didn’t stay in TRBL for long. Top, Right, Bottom, Left – no trouble at all, so long as I can remember to keep myself in TRBL. Mnemonic devices are so nices.
