BBEdit Clippings Library
Welcome! Please peruse and enjoy, but before you start, here are a couple of important reminders:
- Please read this note from the Lawyers.
- To create your own clippings sets, all you need is a copy of BBEdit.
These are just the clippings sets that we know about, but there are many more out there!
BBEdit Clippings
Please note that Clippings sets require a version of BBEdit which includes the Clippings feature (we recommend BBEdit 10 or later). This precludes using these sets with TextWrangler.
