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. 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 editor, which was an enhanced version of BBEdit Lite. Bare Bones stopped development on BBEdit Lite upon TextWrangler's introduction. Later, TextWrangler 2.0 was made available at no charge. BBEdit Lite remains available for Mac OS Classic but is unsupported on Mac OS X.
