	In which format do I have to save scripts with a Macintosh

	boteha Partaker	#1 · Posted: 16 Dec 2008 14:02
		Hello, I work with a Macintosh. When I have to modify a script or a template, I use BBEdit, which is supposed to be good. But, after having save the document, I have several problems of display whith a PC or a Mac. What is the good format ? The choices are ? 1) File creator BBEdit generic text file etc... 2) Save State None MPW Shell BBEdit 3) Line breaks Macintosh Unix Dos Unicode 4) Encoding Mac roman Unicode (UTF-8) Unicode (UTF-8, no BOM) etc... Thank you for your help.

		Hello, Thank you for your answer. I can use : OS9 Mac OSX Mac XP on PC For the web, I usually work with OS9 Mac. When you open a miniBB script with BBEdit (7./0, very old), you have to choose the right format when you save. Depending the format, the results are : your page is a suite of "????" you loose the french accents : é à ç, etc... it is Ok, but an html bug checker will tell you that <head> is missing (and of course <head> exists). At my first install of miniBB, I used Dremweaver as code editer, and it generates fatal errors in PHP scripts that I didn't touch !!! I think it is just a problem of format when you save. If you know yhe good format, and the good soft on Mac, thank you by advance. Regards

		All our files are saved in Windows format, newlines are CR (carriage return) + LF (linefeed). Mac uses CR only, Linux uses LF only. It's up to your editor how it handles newlines, but obviously using very old software could cause a lot of problems.

		Hello, Thank you for yout answer. I'll try with the lastest version of BBEdit under OSX.

		Yes, because the new version can be tuned and you can switch between different carriage return formats in it :) I haven't used 7.0 version myself. Started using it since the version 8.X and above :)

		Hello, I loaded the latest version of BBEdit, but the bug stays alive. In fact, there is a little error in the french lang file. In fre.php $l_meta='<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">'; must be replaced by : $l_meta='<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" />'; End tag of meta is missing, this is the bug. Thank you again for your help.
