It's a small world JiHO! --- I'm hoping to use this shortcut to post R code on the new ggplot Wiki (<a target="_blank" href="http://ggplot2.wik.is">http://ggplot2.wik.is</a>).

Would you be kind enough to help me out? Apparently highlight (is that a command of your creation or something else? It would help to know a little more about it) takes a file as argument. So the only ways to have it work on a selection are: 1- to modify highlight to accept either a file or some raw text from standard input (or only raw text) 2- copy the current selection to a temporary document and feed that to highlight If 1, then you can use highlight with no argument and set TM to feed it selection or document. If the new version can only be made to accept raw text you can still use it independently this way: cat doc.r | highlight -H -... If 2, the command would look like # create a temporary document (cleanly) tmpDoc=$(mktemp) # fill it with TM input (selection or doc) cat > $tmpDoc # feed it to highlight highlight $tmpDoc -H -... Otherwise, depending on the purpose of these snippets, there are plenty of online paste boards with syntax highlighting support for R, and one is accessible from textmate (Paste selection online). You get something like this: <a href="http://pastie.textmate.org/private/epwkcdngtzljzkf1zxg" target="_blank">http://pastie.textmate.org/private/epwkcdngtzljzkf1zxg</a> with a link you can embed in other pages (and I guess also in a wiki). I am also pretty sure I saw some that could output the html that is displayed (with the colors etc.). Hop that helps.
