Hi,
In a snippet with a mirror, how do you allow a mirror to be followed
immediately by a number without that number being interpreted as a part of
the mirror value?
i.e., make it that $11 is interpreted as <contents of group 1><digit 1>
$11 is interpreted as match 11
$1\1 (and \\1 and \\\\1) all let the slashes flow right through rather than
consuming them as escapes.
Any clues or is this a limitation in snippets?
Tim

I decided to write a modified version of a MultiMarkdown command, and
because I'm better at Ruby than I am at bash, I wrote my version of the
command in Ruby. It's working!
However, in order to pass the incoming text thru MultiMarkdown.pl, I open a
subprocess. I am not very savvy at subprocesses, so I have a couple of
questions:
(1) Is there an elegant way? Right now I'm using IO.popen, which has the
virtue that I understand what I'm doing, even though it's wordy.
(2) More important: we do not seem to be picking up the paths automatically,
so I have to construct (from ENV) a full path to where MultiMarkdown.pl sits
inside the support bundle. Is there a trick for handling this? The original
bash version just automagically "sees" MultiMarkdown.pl and SmartyPants.pl;
is there some way my Ruby script can automagically see them too?
Thx - m.

Well, my web pages use UTF8 ... so this option doesn't really solve the
problem. (I am aware of said option, but it just shifts my problem.) As
I said, an encoding per project option would be greatly appreciated (I'm
not sure I understand the last part of your reply correctly and whether
TextMate 2.0 would effectively resolve this issue).

You clearly have the perspective of someone who codes (which is fine by
me, just an observation), but I haven't noticed any garbled output while
working with Latin1. That's probably due to the simple fact that I just
use a very specific subset of TextMate's commands. For me, a one-time
warning would be acceptable.

... but my contribution isn't. The encoding is `hardcoded' into
LaTeX (it's a simple command), so when the chapters are merged, we'd
get into trouble (not necessarily with Plain TeX people of which
there are admittedly very, very few left, but with all of my active
co-workers). (We usually split our work into sections which are then
compiled. Obviously any other wants to be able to compile the TeX code
on his system without fiddling for half an hour. I've seen it happen
often enough.)

Well, I understand the reasons you gave, but people who use LaTeX need
just functionality, most of which is provided by the LaTeX (or Beamer)
bundle. I think if people consciously change the encoding to something
other than UTF8, they have a good reason for doing so. Give them a
warning (once) that some commands may not work would be acceptable to
me. I haven't heard of people in my field using diff on their TeX source
files, for instance. I've also never had any problems with TextMate's
built-in commands that produced no or garbled output.
I can certainly understand if you'd rather fix other problems than
these. But I think there are certain fields when this is just an
essential feature and the people would even be willing to live with a
smaller feature set.

That's very good news (although the first time I hear of those new
features). I hope that you don't have to set these encoding hooks
globally (not 100 % sure what you mean by that), as I mentioned, I use
UTF8 whenever I can (e. g. for the websites I maintain) and Latin1
*when I have to*. Hence different projects, different encodings and
a per project encoding seems like the best option to me. (I usually
create a project for my papers (LaTeX) since LaTeX is very noisy and
creates a phletora of files I almost surely don't need.) :-)

Is it possible to create a "palette" using tm_dialog? From a ruby
shell I can create a dialog that reads in a list and then lets me
load a nib asynchronously, clicking add multiple times. It then
returns all of the added choices when I close the nib. There are two
issues I'm working through:
1. When I run the same code from within a command, the dialog (nib)
freezes and takes no input until I cancel the command. I'm using the
wait_for_command loop from the dialog.rb code. I then manually close
the nib from the terminal. Is there something I'm missing?
2. I'd like to be able to keep the "palette" open and insert
snippets (or tags in this case) as I go, rather than upon window
close. I'd like to use this for both the Autotag bundle and the
Wordpress bundle, keeping a palette of Tags/Wordpress snippets open
and insertable at any time. Any way to do this?
Thanks,
Brett
Suppose you’re a person with a bad short-term memory doing test-
driven design. (You’d be me.) You’d want to have both the test source
and corresponding product code source visible at the same time. You'd
probably also like to to spend screen real estate to show a couple of
other files as well.
To this novice user, TextMate doesn’t seem like it wants you to be
doing that. For example, apple-t doesn’t remember visits to separate
windows, so when I want to visit “that file I was just in”, I have to
remember whether it was in a tab or a window and use either apple-t
or apple-`. But the reason I want separate windows is I have no
memory for such things.
However, I’m early enough in the Emacs->TextMate switch that I’m sure
I’m missing many things. How do you use TextMate on big screens?

if I create an image and save it to a folder that has been opened in the
project pane, how do I get TextMate to recognise the new files?
the files are on a shared network folder, could this be part of the problem?
(I'm using TM on a Mac mini, with a WAMP set up for my development on a
different box on the LAN)
currently I have to "add existing files"
is there a better way to "refresh" the files and folders in the project
that I've missed?
if all the files were on a Mac would TM recognise new files in project
folders automatically?
TIA

The problem with TextMate is that it essentially forces people to use
UTF8. I have yet to find a way how to teach TextMate that my default
encoding is Latin1 (even though this is the default encoding which I
have set in the prefs): as long as a TeX file doesn't contain any
special characters, it will automatically assume they are UTF8 files
(ignoring my preference and -- if existant -- the metadata connected
to that file).

However, going UTF8 is sometimes just not an option. I frequently
exchange files with people who work on Windows, Linux or Solaris and
the standard encoding they use is usually Latin1. Yes, there are ways
how to use UTF8 on other OS, but have you ever tried to convince
someone to switch to UTF8 who still writes his papers in Plain TeX?
Instead of blindly arguing for people to convert to UTF8 (which is
what I would use if I got to choose), you should accept that people
(= customers) want to and sometimes need to work with other encodings
as well.
I'm still longing for an `encoding per project' option which TextMate
would stick to no matter what. And also an error message that tells
me that I cannot save my .tex file in Latin1 because there are some
(invisible) characters that prevent it from doing so (right now,
it'll just revert to UTF8 without telling me).

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to work out if it's possible to
have compound regular expressions in a snippet.
Basically, I want to replace all spaces in a tab-stop with hyphens,
whilst also lowercasing the whole string -- two things I can happily
do separately:
${1/.*/\L$0/}
${1/ /-/\g}
but can't seem to work out if it's possible to do both at the same
time. I've tried replacing the tab-stop in one expression with the
output from another:
${${1/ /-/\g}/.*/\L$0/}
but it doesn't work. I know it's possible if I create an intermediate
tab-stop like this:
${2:${1/.*/\L$0/}}
${2/ /-/\g}
but I don't want to do this as I have no use for the intermediate value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't know how feasible this would be but at the moment theres no
easy way to get a diff from the commit window of what you are about
to commit, I end up clicking on the diff button for each of the files
I'm committing separately to check the commit.
Could there be a button (next to 'Cancel' & 'Commit') which shows a
diff of all the selected files.
Thanks

Is this normal?
How can I increase the loading speed?

Perhaps the answer is already somewhere -- if so, please point me in the
right direction.
I've just decided to completely switch from Xcode to TextMate. I've
imported a WebObjects project and everything was great, until I tried to
open the .html file inside a .wo bundle.
Is there a way that I can import the project and have TextMate make the
.wo a folder, showing the .html and .wod files inside?

Hello,
I'm writing my master thesis with TextMate and the LaTeX bundle, and I
encountered two problems.
First, I want to compile it using latex, and not pdftex. So, I set the
variable TM_LATEX_COMPILER to latex. However, this only is not enough. I
checked the Typeset & View script and I had to add this in order to make
it work :
if [ "$TEX" == "latex" ]; then
TEX_PSTRICKS=1
fi
after the line
TEX=${TM_LATEX_COMPILER:-$DEF_TEX}
Second, I write it in French. There are a lot of accents (é,è,à,ù,ï,ë,
and so on) in French, and sometimes, there is one in a
chapter/section/subsection title. The accents go into the label to.
Creating the chapter/section/subsection works fine with the accents.
However, when I try to refer to them and use \ref{sub followed by
Alt-Esc to use the auto-completion, I can select the sections with
accents in the labels, but when I do select a section with an accent,
instead of writing the label, it deletes everything inside the \ref{}. I
see two solution to this :
- Change the autocompletion script so that it can take accents.
- Change the chapter/section/subsection/... commands so that they
replace accents by regular letters (éèë by e, ...) in the labels.
However, I don't know how to do any of them.
Does anyone have a workaround this ? Or is it possible that someone
correct this in the bundle ?
Thanks,

Does anyone besides me find it ironic that the Bundle Editor window where we
edit TM commands is not, itself, a TM window? Thus, while writing e.g. a

dear all,
I just moved to a new machine (from PPC to macintel) and now "typeset
& view" doesn't work. more precisely: compilation of the file is fine
but preview doesn't work. instead i get a spinning ball in the upper
left corner and a paper icon in the middle of the html-window.
on the command line ps2pdf, pdfview etc. do work. if I remove *.dvi,
*.ps, *.pdf in the working directory, TM initiates their recreation,
so this isn't the problem. it sems to me that, for some reason, TM
can't access the previewer.
i re-installed TM, to no avail. same if i create another user account
and try it there.
