There are a couple of meanings to Markers in BBEdit. This post is about bookmark markers. BBEdit provides a mechanism for creating custom bookmarks from search expressions. For example, the following grep expression matches all Markdown end references.


The “Mark with” expression simply says, mark with whatever is inside the first (i.e. 01) parentheses. When the Find and Mark is run, the Bookmark list is populated with all of the URL’s in my end references. Note that I have selected the “Clear Existing Markers” option. Unchecking that allows me to append bookmarks to the list.
