Is there any way to edit snippets and templates outside the MODx?

Question

Is there any solution to make snippets, templates and maybe resources of MODx site available to edit with external editor? Besides this hack which make site less "native".

Thanks!

Answer 1

As you are basically editing the contents of a database any method of editing will not be native.

If you want to edit them in a separate editor to get nice syntax highlighting then Edit Area is a nice plugin.
