March 30, 2009 On Windows, I love using notepad. However, in Mac OS X Leopard, they came up with rich text editor for TextEdit. It looks really cool when being able to see the color, HTML, etc. Sadly, in practical, it is very annoying for me for coding.

For example, tag becomes, etc. So, I decided to disable the rich text format function in TextEdit. This is how I did it: 1. Open TextEdit Preferences 2. Under “New Document” I selected Plain Text as format. Under “Open and Save” I select first 2 boxes, to ignore rich text commands in both HTML and RTF files.

Note that “GOD see comment below” pressing cmd + shift + t switches between paintext and richtext mode. Thank you 🙂.
