A couple of very cool Safari Extensions came down the pipe today, both geared toward web developers and code monkeys. The two of them combined make viewing source in Safari a whole lot better.

You set up your template in the Extension settings, and use the following variables to define your link style:

For a quick “how-to” on using the Antique (or any) Safari Reader hack, see the related article in the HowTo section.

This will be the last release of Antique, I think, barring a few minor fixes (follow @ttscoff for updates on this and other projects). You can download it here. The code is completely open source, if anyone wants to continue the project feel…

Version 1.5 1.6 of Antique (originally posted here) is officially available for download. Here’s what’s new!
