Editing css/html/javascript directly in rcd file with Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code?

Is there any way to see all the html, css, or javascript in a file contained within a RocketCake rcd file and edit it. From what I can see you can only edit certain sections using the dropdown in the Edit Code dialog box.

I can edit the code in the published files with notepad++ but then once republished the files need to have any modifications redone.

It would be great if notepad++ or Microsoft Visual Studio Code could connect to a rcd file and edit all assets within it. Is that possible?

Thanks

It's best to modify the source code only with the built-in tools:

- The easiest is to insert a HTML code element (or JavaScript or PHP element), which you can find on bottom part of the toolset. Place it exactly where you want to insert your code. Then double-click and you can enter your code.

- A second way is to right-click any element on your page which you want to extend. Then choose "HTML Code..." and a dialog opens where you can insert attributes, code before that element and additional CSS styles.

- And finally you can also use the menu "View -> HTML Code of page" where you can add aditional code in the header, attributes in the body, code before the header or additional CSS styles.

It takes a bit time to get used to this system, but you can basically do anything with that.

Randomly editing the full code and then keeping it after regeneration isn't easily possible, sorry.

Thank you, your reply was extremely helpful and I am sure will be to others as well.

I think it would be a great (although probably difficult to implement) feature to be able to edit the full code and keep the changes on regeneration.

Thanks Again!
