In practice, it is only useful if you, like me, like to work with a limited set of colors since they need to be added to the theme used when editing themes... (makes your head spin, I know ;) Attached screenshot should clarify what it looks like.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. :)

Yeah, out of the box Markdown does get highlighting, some themes work better than others. I’m trying to get granular control over the markdown highlighting so I can control all of the Atx-style headings (#, ##, ###, ####, #####, ######), bold, italic, and lists. I’ve been looking online but can’t find much info on how to target these things in a theme, especially the headings. In larger files I’d like to have a theme where I can tab indent headings and the content after them so it’s easier to follow.
The themes I find typically just have this, which controls all headings:
name = 'Heading';
scope = 'markup.heading, punctuation.definition.heading.markdown';
I would also like to see some kind of visual theme/grammar editor built into Textmate. I’m not a programmer so creating a theme or a new grammar isn’t easy for me (if not impossible). I’ve been able to modify some themes, but it would be nice to have a simple GUI (possibly with a feedback window of sample text) so I’d be able to even create themes for a new language without knowing the crazy grammar syntax (or even a new grammar for that matter). I’m sure it would be an involved process, but definitely worth it to me, even if it slowly grew over time. It would be nice to have simple options in a UI, and maybe even the ability to place your cursor in an open file which would allow you to edit the highlighting for that part of the grammar.
On a related topic, I’d love to see an enhanced Markdown theme (if one doesn’t exist). I’m using Markdown more and more for general notes and some html. Would be nice to have some highlighting for bold, em, links, lists, maybe even variations for # heading levels, tabbed indents for heading levels and associated content, etc.
thanks
Hi,
when I put my cursor in the word "transform" and select enclosing typing pairs, it selects the whitespace too, for some reason:
If I don't have the opening curly brace on it's own line, it works correctly:
Any ideas?

Thanks Graham. The uuidgenerator worked great. That was the missing key in the theme files.

Thanks. I tried adding some themes from that site to Textmate but I get an error that they are “malformed.”
"The bundle item lacks mandatory keys in its property list file.”
Any idea of what needs to be fixed in this files to get them to work?
