Hi Haris Trouble: I do the following. 1-quit and relaunch tm (just to be sure) 2-create a New from template GTD file, the default Sample is ok 3-save as untitled.gtd on the desktop 4-add some garbage text at the top of the file (before the first project). (Now Haris you will say: my fault, since nothing is expected to work with extraneous text. Anyway) 5-execute the Current Actions command; it works perfectly. 6-click on an action in the HTML window: the WRONG action is selected in the gdt window. The selected lined is off by the number of extraneous added lines, so this must be some simple problem in the ruby script. I know it's my fault, but surely you know how to fix it easily..... Request: what about recurring events/actions? I know, you will say GTD is not for this kind of stuff, we have remind (or iCal) etc etc, but, please? Let me show you an example: a permanent project "pay taxes". I can put in it all kind of recurrent taxes; each one has a due date, which is the same every year; moreover, I would like to remember about it in advance, say, two weeks. It would be so nice to just write e.g. 2006-12-20+1Ya2W which means, due on December 20, every year, please start nagging me 2 weeks in advance. Maybe this is pushing too much the GTD bundle? (but it should certainly be a pleasure to code ;) Thanks, Piero

> Bundle creation is directly TextMate related actually is the only thing we can do, so... I'm pretty sure it belongs to the list! :D

That said, Kevin is describing to you ways of getting from MarkDown/MultiMarkDown to PDF using only free and open source materials. In this case, he is recommending that you use a converter to transform your MarkDown formatted files into LaTeX files. Think of Latex -- I hate doing all the capitals, so you only get them once -- as another form of markup, like HTML or MarkDown. It is a very precise form of markup long used by many in the sciences for getting the kind of outputs that others had access to only when word processers developed robust page-layout capabilities became widely available. There are a wide variety of Latex installations available, you need only google Latex and Mac to discover them, or perhaps someone on this list will point you to a package particularly easily adapted/ adopted by a newbie. I can't help you there. I use Mellel when projects get to be a of certain structure or size. I do enjoy doing a lot of writing in TextMate using the MarkDown formats, if only I could get some form of code-folding -- I've been meaning to ask this list about the possibility of using two returns as a way to cue the end of header and how one would include that within the parsing language in the bundle. (One of my goals for next year is to teach myself PERL -- I'm a folklorist, so PERL's language- oriented abilities are useful in and of themselves.) I hope this helps. My apologies for blurting out my own question in the middle of my answer. I will re-post it if it doesn't make any sense at another time on this list. john

Control TM with AppleScript?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

I googled for it but I didn't find the correct answer. Is it possible to control TM via AppleScript à la tell app "TextMate" activate end tell tell app "System Events" tell process "TextMate.app" tell menu bar 1 tell menu bar item "Help" tell menu "Help" click menu item "Release Notes" end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell I tried several things but I couldn't find a solution and it seems to me that this is not possible. Many thanks for every hint. -Hans

Editing RichText

by Ernest Obusek

I'm starting to want to edit every possible piece of text in my system with TextMate. I use DevonThinkPro for certain things, and type a lot of stuff into its Rich Text page type, but when I then do Edit in TextMate, it comes in as Plain Text. All I want from the RichText is to occasionally make something bold or change the font size. Is there a page type in TextMate that will let me do that and then save it back to DevonThinkPro and look correct there? Thanks, Ernest

Mathematica

by rafale labosk

Greetings, I'm in the process of evaluating TextMate. Needless to say, great. Some of my work involves Mathematica. I have this ambitious notion that TM with TerminalMate (eventually) can be used to interface with the M'ca computational engine. What's missing is a tmbundle to start. I'm assuming getting to the point of just highlighting syntax is doable. Typically, efficient M'ca is Lispish, with recursive headers, eg, Header1[Header2[Header3]]] And the bracketing syntax is pretty well formed: (term) parentheses for grouping f[x] square brackets for functions {a, b, c} curly braces for lists v[[i]] double brackets for indexing // Can someone point me in the right direction wrt an existing bundle that has similar syntax so that I can independently figure this out?(MatLab, btw, is largely imperative.) Is this a waste of time I wonder? It seems that people have had sporadic success with TM in the functional space. Someone feel free to correct me. // Also, does anyone have suggestions about navigating between multiline functions in C++? The syntax highlighting/function hopping does not work in those cases. Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta. http://new.mail.yahoo.com

tab trigger no longer working

by Andreas Duus Pape

Hello. I have a tab trigger specified in latex, but it doesn't appear to work any longer. It is set in the snippet to have a tab trigger, and I am in the right scope, i believe (text.latex). Moreover, it used to work. Is there some meta preference that I may have turned off?

Footer for Preview Print other than Prince 5.1

by Lloyd Williams

Kevin if it would be easier you may send it directly to my email at wlw3(a)mac.com. Sorry for being so difficult. I do not understand why I can read all the others and not your. I also can not figure how to reply and keep it in the thread. Thank you, Lloyd

by Lloyd Williams

Kevin, I am reading these from the TxMt archives on the web with both FireFox and Safari and every message you have posted has looks the same as the one I sent to you. All the other messages are readable. Thought you would want to know. Lloyd
