BBEdit Lite is a freeware text editor by Bare Bones Software, created as a low-cost, stripped-down or "lightweight" version of their flagship product BBEdit.[1][2] BBEdit Lite had many of the same features as BBEdit such as regular expressions, a plug-in architecture and the same text editing engine. However, BBEdit Lite lacked programming and web-oriented tools such as syntax highlighting, a command line shell, HTML tools or FTP access.
In 2003, Bare Bones introduced the commercial TextWrangler product.[2][3] Bare Bones stopped development on BBEdit Lite and replaced it with the commercial TextWrangler product,[when?] which was an enhanced version of BBEdit Lite. Later, TextWrangler 2.0 was made available at no charge.[4] BBEdit Lite remains available for Mac OS Classic but is unsupported on Mac OS X.
