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.

Nick,
FTP Mount via the finder is read-only. That would be kinda
pointless for this application wouldn't you think?

Gread job so far, macromates!
Here is stuff to think about:
- AppleScriptability (pardon my ignorance, is it scriptable)?
- Gutter: use color lines as clues for start and end of code blocks
(steal that idea from jEdit :)
- Preferences? Editting bundles is an unpleasant hybrid between mac and
unix. (btw., in the short term you can create a "themes" part on your
website and place collections of bundles there ...
http://theexciter.com/ has a few already).
Did I say you have done great job? Hope you bury bbsoftware :)
Nick
