You can also select manually the type of file you're editing from either the View menu ('Highlight mode.') or from the bottom bar of the editor window, where the current file tyle is given ('Plain text', 'HTML' etc.) This helps a lot when trying to look for missing tags for example.
#Gedit command code#
One final thing before we start with snippets and regex: gedit recognises the type of file (plain text, HTML etc.) you're editing, and highlights the code parts of the text with various colours, so that it's more obvious at a glance which parts are code and which are normal text. Check the box if you want your search and replacement phrases to be interpreted as regular expressions, and leave it empty if you want them to be taken "literally", i.e. When you hit Alt-H for the search and replace function, you see a box in the search and replace window that pops up, saying 'Regular expression'.
The second feature that is covered in this totorial is regular expressions (more on that below), which also is available in gedit by default. After activation, you now have a new entry in the menu (either the all-in-one menu or in the Tools menu) called 'Manage snippets'. 'Snippets' is included in the default plugins, you just need to activate it by checking the box next to it. From the menus, find 'Preferences' and then a tab named 'Plugins'. Once you've downloaded and installed gedit, let's setup the 'Snippets' plugin.
#Gedit command software#
gedit is the default editor for Gnome (Linux), and if you're not using Gnome on your particular Linux distribution, it is likely that it's available in the repository (check the Software center or its equivalent). Gedit can be downloaded here for all operating systems. Just make a web search on your editor's name together with "snippets" or "regular expressions" and see if anything turns up. Snippet functionality and regex search-and-replace are likely to be found in editors geared towards programming. If you'd like to use these features but don't want to switch away from your favourite editor, or can't use gedit or sed for some other reason, you could just check whether in fact your current editor happens to support snippets and regular expressions as well. The idea is just to point out two features that are helpful in doing HTML markup, and the demonstration of these two features is done by showing concretely how it's done with two particular programs. Please note that page is not intended as a comprehensive tutorial on either program.
#Gedit command how to#
This tutorial will help you use gedit's snippets functionality and describes with some examples and in outline how to use regular expressions (regex) to search and replace text with both gedit and sed.
#Gedit command windows#
Both of them are available for Linux, Windows and Mac.
gedit is a text editor with useful functionalities for HTML markup, and sed is a command line tool can be used to automate the clean-up of OCR program output.

The tools that are recommended here for this purpose are gedit and sed. However, the claim is made that these particular methods clearly beat copy-pasting repeating sections of code, not to mention typing such code by hand! Hopefully this tutorial will contribute something towards MIA volunteers' ability to make informed choices about available options when they're choosing between various tools for their work. People should use those tools that they know how to use and are comfortable with. No implication is made here that this is the best one. There are various workflows which people on MIA use to do HTML markup and correct OCR errors, and this is just one of them. Introduction What this tutorial is about, and what it isn't Some differences between the regex dialects in gedit and sed Search and replace with regular expressions.
