The latest newsletter introduces the ACE Code Editor:

 

  ACE Code Editor

Ace is an embeddable code editor written in JavaScript. It matches the features and performance of native editors such as Sublime, Vim and TextMate.

This editor has long been part of Edit+ as the source editor found in the WYSIWYG and has now been ported to the Admin interface.

Admin users will now receive a full fledged code editor when editing code based assets including Design Parse Files, CSS Design Files, JavaScript &, CSS Files, and Raw HTML Content Containers.

 

Just wondering if it has any of the same quirks as the WYSIWYG source editor e.g. wrapping image tags in paragraphs?

The Ace editor is just a code editor, not a WYSIWYG editor. The wrapping of images into <p> tags is handled by the Edit+ WYSIWYG functions (Viper), not the Ace Editor.

Thanks for the quick answer Bart.  I was hoping that the code tidyup aspects of Edit+ were something specific to Edit+.
