Hi guys,
I don't know how others feel about this but editing templates in ACP can be a real hassle. Before I started with MyBB I was used to external template and CSS editing with my beloved Programmer's Notepad, because it is quick, more flexible, supports coloring and Indentation (btw, MyBB's template is written pretty much "indentationless", which adds a bit more pain to the matter).
We can already edit CSS files externally, but not templates. I always have to copy and paste a template to Programmer's Notepad, make changes, copy and paste it back to the template manager, save and reload to see the results.
I assume it's not possible to edit templates externally because MyBB is not written that way? (What about MyBB 1.8 and 2.0?)
