Hello,
I've always dreamed about a text editor that will show unicode to me in a slightly more suitable form than what I'm used to. Like a double- width em-dash (assuming fixed width fonts are being used) -- or even a double-width en-dash and a triple-width em-dash -- and visual differentiation between the various invisible characters like no-break space, zero-width joiner, and the half dozen or so extra unicode glyphs that aren't displayed very well in code.
While TextMate's "Show Invisibles" does indeed show no-break space, (most of?) the others remain invisible. And em-dash is rather hard to distinguish from en-dash :)
Has anyone else ever thought such things before? Certainly I think greater editing support for such unicode glyphs would encourage their use (which, at present, seems rather uncommon).

Yes. Among others like me, I believe, Allan is aware of it. TM 2.0 will support rendering Unicode glyphs. Whether the feature "Show Invisibles" etc. would be a part of the first TM 2.0 release I do not know.
I also have that problem. That's why the Unicode bundle in Review SVN trunk was established containing some helper functions, such as "Show Unicode Name(s) of a selection.

Hello,
sorry for getting off-topic, but maybe one could give me a good recommendation:
I need a copy of a website's code and data incl. images, css, js, etc without messing too much with pathes.
I tried scrapbook which comes as a FF-extension, but it puts all the stuff into one folder only.
Is there any functionality within textmate accompagnied by terminal that could be used?
thnks & sincere Dennis

I tried both tools yet, and think sitesucker seems to be alright. webgrabber seems a bit difficult to control.
try also sitesucker, I like it more. it also keeps the directory structure clean, even though it localizes pathes (which can be turned off)

Hi Michael,
though this looks very capable for all its features incl. cookie support, its a coomand line tool only
... these are still chilling me somehow, I know I got to get over it :0)
And maybe its a good thing for someone else on the list who surprisingly found some interest on this this topic.
thanks! dennis
