[TxMt] more language grammar woe

[sam aaron]

Hi there,

I'm starting to feel really useless now! I'm trying to write a
language grammar for the latex TODO bundle
(http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/todo/)

When used, it produces a nice todo file that looks like the following:

(abstract) l.4, p iii, s : expand upon this `argument'
(introduction) l.17, p 1, s 1.1: Did I just think these categories up,
or did they come from somewhere?
(introduction) l.26, p 1, s 1.1: Back these definitions with
references to the literature
(background) l.37, p 10, s 2.1.1: is there actually an example of a
virtual environment with no users?
(background) l.67, p 11, s 2.1.1: fill out this section with a
complete range of quotes

Currently I just want to add syntax highlighting to this document. I
have created my own bundle (LaTeXTODO), and inside my own language
file: (LaTeXTODO). This language file looks as follows:

{	scopeName = 'source.latex_todo';
	fileTypes = ( 'TODO' );
	patterns = (
		{	match = '^(\(.*?\))';
			captures = { 1 = { name = 'entity.name.latex_todo'; }; };
		}
	);
}

I was hoping it would match the first bracketed word in each sentence
(abstract), (introduction), etc. and scope them as
'entity.name.latex_todo'. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the
case. For some very strange reason, when i click on (abstract), and
hit the short-cut ctrl-shift-p it says that the scope is
tex.log.latex.

This is very odd, and the language menu at the bottom definitely says
i'm in LaTeXTODO mode. I'm really at a loss with what to do with
languages grammars now, and i'm almost wondering whether TextMate is
playing fairly...

Yours in hope of any help at all,
Sam Aaron
