Don't go getting your hopes up Robert. My first effort at a bundle. (I did a ConTeXt CLM for BBEdit, but it is limited to the same extent as any codeless language module for BBEdit is currently limited - hence this effort.) I've got very little time for it at the moment and I'm feeling my way. 

Maybe we could pool resources ?

I could *try* to tackle the main Syntax.plists initially. Maybe you could do some commands ?

(Due to the diversity of the languages (Perl, Python, Ruby and pure shell scripts - in *none* of which I'm proficient) used in the command scripts in the other bundles, I've not grokked all of the underlying mechanisms in the command scripts. I dare say I'd figure it out sooner or later, but this is probably trivial for a competent scripter.) I was thinking about scripts for the following:

        texexec --pdf myFile
        texexec --xtx myFile
        bibtex myFile
        
additionally, combo scripts for:

        texexec --[pdf|xtx]--myFile [AND] open in myPreviewer
        
and maybe even:

        texexex --[pdf|xtx] --myFile [AND] bibtex --myFile [AND] texexec --[pdf|xtx] --myFile [AND] open in myPreviewer
