There's a set of properties for each Rich Text document. One kind of hidden one is under File you've got Show Properties. Now let's go and change this to Rich Text mode here and now we have a lot more options. It's maybe just something for you to use when you want to make sure you don't accidentally change the text. That is until you go to Format, Allow Editing.
This locks it and now you can't actually edit the document. So we'll use the keyboard shortcut, Command L, and enter a line number and you can see how it jumps right to a line.Īn interesting hidden feature that works in Plain Text and Rich Text mode is to kind of lock the document by going to Format, Prevent Editing.
But you'll also see Select a Line which is Command L. You can do that in TextEdit by going to Edit, Find, and here you'll see all the normal Find things. Like if you get an error message and it'll say the error is on line 53. If you're doing that a common thing you need to do is jump to a certain line.
HOW TO USE TEXTEDIT FOR HTML ON MAC CODE
Often we use TextEdit to edit documents that are actually code like html code, css. But if you go to Format, Wrap to Page you can see how those two paragraphs are on one page and the page break will actually take it to the next page here. So if you wanted to divide up a set of notes and have a forced page break you can put the cursor where you want it to be, then go to Edit and then Insert and Page Break. Now while there's not too much you can do in terms of formatting for plain text documents you can insert Page Breaks. That's only for new documents or when I go back to open this plain text document and you can see it opens much narrower now. But say if I wanted it to be 50 characters I could do that. There was also there, by the way, the default font for a Rich Text document. Note that you have to close the document out and then reopen it to see the change. You can click that to change to something else and that will change the size for everything. If you go to TextEdit, Preferences and then under New Document you can look for Font and there's Plain Text Font. But you can change the font that is used to display everything here. You can't make things bold, or italics or change the size. Now, of course, in Plain Text you can't change text styles. Most of the time in Plain Text mode you probably want it to wrap to the window. Then you have a page size here and wrapping will stay the same no matter what the size of the window. But you can switch to Wrap to Page in Plain Text format by going to Format, Wrap to Page. This is very different than how you will see things in a word processor like Pages where there is just a specific page size. If I move the window here you can see the text rewraps according to the size of the window. Here I've got it wrapping according to the width of the window. There are two modes for wrapping the text. We'll start off by looking at things you could do in Plain Text mode. You can switch between the two of them by going to Format and you'll either see Rich Text if you're in the plain text mode or Plain Text if you're in the Rich Text mode.
