Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy editing into nicely laid out markup? Well now there is! BBTidy is a BBEdit (and BBEdit Lite) plugin for Mac OS designed for doing just that. BBTidy checks and corrects HTML and XML to make it compliant with the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) HTML standards. BBTidy also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities. BBTidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the problem lies in your markup. BBTidy won't generate a cleaned up version when there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These are logged as "errors" rather than "warnings". BBTidy corrects the markup in a way that matches where possible the observed rendering in popular browsers from Netscape and Microsoft. BBTidy is based on the freely available "Tidy" program by Dave Raggett. BBTidy performs in a compatible way to "Tidy", but has a graphical user interface (GUI), and takes full advantage of BBEdit's features. Balloon Help is available for the configuration dialog. For more information on Dave Raggett's "Tidy", browse the enclosed HTML file "overview.html", visit the author's web site at , or EMail . For more information on BBEdit, visit Bare Bones Software's web site at , or EMail . The current version of BBTidy and other products based on "Tidy" for Mac OS can be found at . System Requirements : Any Macintosh (except Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512Ke, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, Macintosh Classic) running System 7.0 or later. The "Carbon" version of BBTidy requires Mac OS 8.1 + CarbonLib 1.0.2 or later (Mac OS 8.6 or later requires CarbonLib 1.1 or later), or Mac OS X (DP4 or later supported). At the time of writing, Apple Computer Inc. has made v1.0.4, v1.2, and v1.2.5 of CarbonLib publically available to end-users; other versions are available to members of the Apple Developer ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/text/bbe/bb-tidy-10b9.hqx; 786 K] ------------------------------ Date: 18 May 2001 From: Ruedi Schmid To: Subject: [*] Clear Skies! v.1.1 Clear Skies! is a Macintosh shareware program that brings you the night sky on your desktop.

Colibricks is an exciting brick game for the Macintosh. The goal of the game is to destroy all bricks using one or more balls. Unlike other brick games, it features accurate ball behaviour, using very precise physical laws. Balls bounce off corners correctly, and even bounce with each other. And instead of boring horizontal grids, Colibricks features rotated bricks, even making circles and spirals with them. Graphics are antialiased with beautiful backgrounds. Of course, it's also a lot of fun. With special kinds of bricks that activate special effects or spawn prize balloons. Balls can grow or shrink to any size. The demo lets you play 6 levels of various difficulties. After registering, you'll get access to all 50 levels.

The player and monsters choose from a repetoire of 51 different spells and abilities.

Legendary Lair's built-in monster and item editors allow the user to create his/her own creatures and objects, adding up to 32,000 entries to each library. Users are free to redistribute their libraries however they choose. The game is further enhanced by auto-mapping and 1,000 hand-drawn sprites and 250 digitized sounds. This product is shareware. Until registered, some features are disabled. An upcoming OS X upgrade will be free to all registered users. Distribution: Legendary Lair may be freely distributed in unregistered form as long as its installer remains intact and all documentation accompanies the game.

Among the responses to my query as to which might have caused this was one that pointed to the culprit. Much as I would have liked to accuse a certain Bill G. of meddling with my computer it turned out that the Equation Editor that came with the free version of Nisus Writer installed a suitcase with (among other things) Times bitmap fonts. That, apparently, sufficiently confused the Finder. I dumped the ``Nisus Equation Tool Fonts'' and everything works again as it should.
