hehe. Thank Feedster, BlogDigger and Brent Simmons (NetNewsWire) for that. ;-)

I thought it'd be something like that. I've had more luck with PubSub than BlogDigger, myself...

itâs quite easy to make your own mode that just recognizes some form of syntax for navigating to

Wow, powerful stuff! I've been remiss in not tinkering with SubEthaEdit at all, preferring, you know, just working in it. I have a feeling I'll now spend a good deal of time today tinkering away making my perfect Mode, instead of actually working. Meta-efficiency...

And I might add that if conference mode is to colorfull for you, it's quite easy to make your own mode that just recognizes some form of syntax for navigating to. It's quite easy if you know XML and regex: http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/mode.html

Thanks for the tip Martin - I must confess I hadn't even looked in the Mode menu of SubEthaEdit before now or investigated templates - I use it along with various Services as a sort of stripped down word processor, so haven't really had to.

(Also, isn't the interweb just fabulous? I post about SubEthaEdit, and within the hour one of the developers has told me a better way to do what I want to do with the application!)

You could also use the Conference Notes Mode which would allow you to make sections just by typing caps. For a small syntax overview chose "File/New/Conference" in a recent copy of SubEthaEdit. Using the extension ".notes" will automatically trigger that mode.
