Wrong place for a question about dev tools? about maraschino HOT 7 CLOSED

good old fashioned text editor. Notepad++ for me on windows

from maraschino.

Myself, I use emacs. As long as your editor can be set to format files like this (i.e. you can set it to use spaces instead of tabs, and you're not committing trailing whitespace all over the space) then you can't go far wrong.

Thanks for the answers.. I also use notepad++..

What about the layout in the html templates? After every change I make, I have to check in the webinterface if my changes have the desired effect. Are there any ways to speed up the progress? (by using a wysiwyg editor)

from maraschino.

We edit the HTML files (they're actually Jinja2 templates) directly, without using WYSIWYG tools, so you will need to refresh your browser in order to see any changes that you make.

Thanks for the reply...
I was actually hoping to hear that you were using something like an IDE, but this will do..
What's the reason for the development port in settings.py?

Thanks in advance,

Editing the templates directly gives you more control over the generated HTML and is a pretty standard way of doing things. There may be IDEs which support Jinja syntax, but if there are, I'm happier not knowing about them :P

Changing the value of PORT in settings.py changes which port the dev server runs on. The default is 5000, but you can change it if you have something else running on this port.

Thanks for the feedback.. I'll see if I can come up with something presentable..
