MacOS – QuickLook HTML plugin

My solution is to just use a different QuickLook generator. My generator of choice is qlcolorcode. Antialiasing works perfectly well with it and it'll even highlight source code files—which is its main purpose.

There is one bug, however, that if you are dealing with any directories or files containing a ' (single quote), there will be no QuickLook available for it due to the way the generator sends the path to the highlighter program.

Another downside is that the filename will not show in the QuickLook window. Instead, it will just say "Source file". It also will not work on textClipping files.

Normally, text files are supported by QuickLook. If you have one that isn't, chances are that there is something "odd" about the file, at least from the Finder's point of view.

Try opening the file in TextEdit and then choose "Format" and then "Make Rich Text" as shown here:

• Type a space (or modify the document in some other minor way).

• go back to the "Format" menu and choose "Make Plain Text" again.

• Save the file.

• Check to see if QuickLook is able to show the file.
