This software checks CSS syntax for BBEdit and TextWrangler, using W3C's CSS Validation Service. It ensures the accuracy of CSS files.
If you're looking for a tool to syntax-check your CSS files, CSS Syntax Checker for BBEdit and TextWrangler may be just what you're after. This software combines Perl and AppleScript to enable syntax-checking with the W3C's CSS Validation Service.
The results of the validation service are displayed in an easy-to-read results browser, similar in style to BBEdit's built-in HTML syntax checker. In addition, if you run the script against an HTML document, it will carry out a CSS syntax check against the contents of the first tag pair in the document - even if it isn't a standalone CSS file. This is particularly helpful for developers who use inline CSS during development, as it can prevent browser caching issues.
Installation is simple - just add both scripts to your BBEdit or TextWranger scripts folders. You can find these by accessing the following paths:
- ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/
- ~/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Scripts/
To use CSS Syntax Checker for BBEdit and TextWrangler, you will need BBEdit 8.2.3 or later, or TextWrangler 2.1 or later.
