Generating HTML footnotes with AppleScript and MarsEdit
As noted in the intro to Accessible footnotes with HTML and CSS, I’m using WordPress to manage the contents of this web site. Searching for an offline content manager, I found MarsEdit was consistently praised as both powerful and effective.
Among other features, MarsEdit offers support for AppleScript and intelligent macros using what it calls Text Markup. Combining these two features offers users advanced tools for speeding up their workflow.
In the case of footnotes, I’m using a combination of AppleScript and Text Markup to reduce the process to two simple steps.
