I purchased TextMate for because one of the screencasts at <a href="http://screencasts.textmate.org/html_text_transformations.mov">http://screencasts.textmate.org/html_text_transformations.mov</a> was so impressive. However the speaker assumes some non-obvious fundamentals.</div><div><br></div><div>When he types "html" suddenly <html> </html> appears on the screen nicely formatted. Doesn't for me. Hitting the tab key just jumps the cursor to the right. Hitting return or enter pushes the cursor to a new line. What has he done to effect the transformation? He doesn't say.</div><div><br></div><div>I have figured out that when he typed "doctype" he then hits the tab key to present some options. That works.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8.3 running TextMate Version 1.5.11 (1635)</div><div><br></div><div>What basic assumptions am I missing?</div><div><br></div><div>Appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Morley Chalmers</div><div>—</div><div>The highest result of education is tolerance. — Helen Adams Keller, lecturer, author, first deaf-blind person to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree (1880–1968)</div></div></span></div></span> </div> <br></body></html>
