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.

BBEdit Clippings

Please note that Clippings sets require a version of BBEdit which includes the Glossary or Clippings feature (we recommend BBEdit 8.7). This precludes using these sets with BBEdit Lite, TextWrangler, or versions of Mailsmith prior to 2.0.
