Mac Text Editors
I need a text editor that will print syntax highlighted Java code with line numbers.
- Smultron doesn’t print line numbers.
- TextWrangler doesn’t syntax highlight Java code.
- BBEdit doesn’t syntax highlight Java code.
- XCode doesn’t print line numbers.
- Editra doesn’t print (it just prints the filename and the right-hand margin, leaving the actual text out).
- TextMate doesn’t print line numbers.
- NetBeans prints both line numbers and highlighted text, in a terrible way; printing to HTML results in print output surrounded by an inexplicable black box.
- Aquamacs Emacs - an astonishing 115MB for a text editor even though it hasn’t got a real UI; view line numbers option doesn’t appear to work.
Why isn’t there a Mac text editor that will print properly?
