So what we´d need is a dtd interpreter?
Implementing bbedit cmd-m style inserting should be fairly easy
to implement given two new features in the Commands implementation;
1. "TM_CURRENT_BLOCK" environment variable. (TextMate must know this
already to handle folding.)
and
2. "Select value from list, and insert at caret" Standard output, for commands.
this way, using Commands, we can pass '<div>', '<ul id="menu">','div'
or whatever from my hypothetical TM_CURRENT_BLOCK variable to an
external script and make that return newline separated valid tags for
that context.
"Select value from list.." output would then present the result in a
list, and allow you to insert your choice at the caret.
This said, what i´d REALLY love would be a SketchUp style ruby API for
extending the editor. (http://sketchup.com/forum/list.php?f=6)

Interarchy does a lot more than that. It's quite simply the best FTP
client on the Mac and the only FTP client that does everything I want an
FTP client to do. If you work with FTP (or SFTP or any of the other
supported protocols) regularly, you owe it yourself to at least check
out Interarchy.

I'm using ProFont and coding in PHP (for today, at least).
I'm finding the anti-aliased text unusable on a white background. It's
all fuzzy and lacks definition. If I switch anti-aliasing off, any
emboldened keywords become unreadable, as ProFont doesn't really support
bold text.
The ruby colour scheme, which uses a dark background, doesn't seem to
suffer from this.
Any suggestions?

I was poking around in the HTMl bundles and found an easy way to add
more elements that would fold (Marc asked about this).
Go to and edit:
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/
HTML.tmbundle/Syntaxes/HTML.plist
Line 34 and 35 are:
foldingStartMarker =
"(<(?i:(head|table|div|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl|p|li|a|select))\\>.*?
>|\\{)";
foldingStopMarker =
"(</(?i:
(head|table|div|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl|p|li|a|select))>|\\})";
I added the p,li,a, and select.
One thing to note is that a fold will only occur if an element takes up
multiple lines (one line wrapped will not fold).
Have Fun,
Eric Curtis

That's what I do, but it doesn't help me with the problems I mentioned.

I write applications in Java, C#, Objective-C, C, C++, AppleScript, Perl
and some other languages. I write HTML, CSS, JavaScript, RSS and more
for several different web sites which use different versions of (X)HTML.
I'm afraid I don't work with HTML often enough to remember what
attributes were removed from which version of HTML, but I still want to
write valid HTML. Of course I validiate my sites with the HTML
validator. But even so I would like to have an editor that helps me
write corrent HTML in the first place by showing me what's allowed and
what's not while I actually write the code.
This is not a show stopper. TextMate is great even without such a
feature. But this feature would definitely help me a great deal and save
a ton of my time.

Hi,
First of all, congratulations on a very impressive first release! I
think TextMate has great potential, but people should keep in mind that
it's only a 1.0 release. BBEdit (for example) has a 12 year head-start!
Give it some time.
I humbly submit these two small(?) feature requests which I haven't yet
seen on this list:
- An option to highlight the line containing the insertion point (a la
BBEdit 8).
- An option to "Indent wrapped lines by n spaces" (a la Xcode).
Both of these seemingly trivial things would make my coding life
(ObjC/Ruby) a bit easier.
Thanks for listening, and keep up the excellent work!
Kind Regards,
-jeff

Two thoughts:
1) It won't bloat the editor if the user can turn it off
2) I for one can never remember all the different versions of (X)HTML
and how you're allowed to nest tags in each version and what tags
have which attributes and so on.
Of course, it will take time to implement something like this, so the
question is whether there are enough people who want it.

Well, the problem with skEdit is that I downloaded it about a month ago,
opened it, promply forgot about it and now can't open it anymore since
the demo has expired :-)
I'll try to get it running again.

First of all, congrats on getting the app out. As an imminent
switcher, I have been looking for an ultraedit replacement.
I know the site says that Editing over Secure FTP is coming soon.
However is there a way to open and save documents over FTP. I did a
cursory search and couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Because you can't write to a server mounted in the Finder.
