Is there an equivalent to MacRabbit's cssedit on Ubuntu?

Question

If there is an emacs pluggin that would give me similar functionality, that would be welcome as well. Thanks!

Answer 1

About the best I know of is css-mode:

Package: css-mode
Description: A Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) editing mode for Emacs
 This is a simple Emacs mode for editing CSS style sheets. It adds
 font-locking and some basic auto-indentation support to Emacs. It
 works with Emacs 19.34, but should also work with both older and
 newer versions as well as XEmacs.
 .
 While CSS has a C-like syntax, this mode does a better job than
 cc-mode of handling the features of the CSS language.  It supports
 both CSS Level 1 and Level 2.

Answer 2

All “programming” text editors (gedit, scite, jEdit, …) support syntax highlighting and features like code folding. More advanced editors that have specific CSS/HTML features (e.g. a colour picker) in the Ubuntu repos:

• cssed : http://cssed.sourceforge.net/ (GTK application. development seems to have stopped, though)
• Quanta Plus (package name quanta): http://freecode.com/projects/quantaplus (Qt application, also not much development recently...)
• Bluefish: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ (GTK app, recently version 2.0 was released and is included in Ubuntu 10.10. Current Ubuntu still has 1.0.7)

Bluefish would be my recommendation.

Answer 3

geany with snippets may help but its not specific to css but in general a very lightweight text editor.
