I am working on a Wordpress Theme Bundle for TM, and would like some input. First of all, if this has already been done or someone already has a head start on me, let me know. I am planning to include: Templates for index, archive, page and single Snippets for loop, navigation, queries with all parameters tab-stopped Snippets for all loop-internal hooks (i.e. the_title, the_excerpt, the_content) A command for turning a block into a loop A help file with all of the template hooks linked to the Wordpress Codex Let me know what feedback you have, what you’d like to see, or if there’s an alternate way to go about this (code completion plist?) Thanks, Brett

[PSA] powerbook owners, check your RAM

by Artie Ziff

As a FYI, all Powerbook G4 owners should check your system to see what your system reports as the RAM quantity. Many of the motherboards have a serious defect. Here is a link describing the PowerBook Lower Memory Slot failure. http://lowermemoryslot.editkid.com/ BTW, I got hit with this problem and my serial number was not recognized by Apple as in the affected set. Please forward this PSA to Mac audiences. Cheers, AZ

Scheme formatting

by Timothy J. Wood

The current Scheme (and Lisp) plugins don't seem to format according to the normal usage for these languages. With the following text in TextMate in Scheme mode you get: ----- (define (x y) (let ((a 1) (b 2)) (+ (* a b) y))) ----- This is hard to see in mail unless you have plain text w/fixed pitch on... but paste it into TextMate and align it with Scheme selected. Normally, the 'a' and 'b' in the 'let' form would align and the '(' before the '+' and the '(' after 'let' would align. TextMate makes a mess of this, though. I've looked over the language definitions, but it would seem there is a pretty steep learning cliff and I'd expect that this really should be working already, so I thought I'd check if this is supposed to work or if this is a known deficiency. I can make the formatting at least look properly structured if I drop closing parens onto their own lines, but this results in tons of wasted space: ---- (define (x y) (let ( (a 1) (b 2) ) (+ (* a b) y) ) ) ---- Any hints? Thanks! -tim

Latex suggestion (Refactoring)

by Helge Hartmann

Hi! As Harris is currently working on the latex bundle, I have a suggestion: I sometimes change the header of a section, and so also the label. Even for figures I sometimes change the label. Then I have to search for all references for these labels. So I would be glad if there would be a Rename refactoring for labels and references. Helge

OakTextView API & text selection

by Todd Ditchendorf

I'm working on a couple of TextMate plugins, and I would like to force text selection and possibly scrolling in TextMate's main window ([NSApp mainWindow]). I see that TextMate uses a custom text view class called OakTextView. 1. Is the OakTextView api (header file?) available to the public? 2. Does anyone have any advice to share on how to accomplish text selection in an OakTextView? I can get a reference to the main window's oaktextview in cocoa easily enough. i just don't know how to make it select text. I'd prefer to do this via objc/cocoa. However, if there are applescript hooks to this, those would be of interest too (especially if the oaktextview api is not available). Thanks!!!!

pasting from firefox to blog post markdown

by Lloyd Williams

I head in a webcast that you can copy selected text in firefox and with a keyboard shortcut have textmate create a new file and paste the selection. How is this done? Can it post directly to a new blog post markdown file? Thanks

How to include private additions to syntax coloring?

However there is one tricky bit: The > rules that match environments match the spaces before the \begin, > so that they match from the beginning of the line (for coloring the > background more nicely). So if your rule matches only from the > \begin part, it does not matter whether it appears first or not, > since the built-in rule matches EARLIER. So you would need to be > matching those spaces as well. (I've been bitten by this myself ;) ). Sorry for choosing a potentially confusing example. What I meant to say is that I have a custom command for including schemes and figures: \includescheme{scale}{name}{caption} which inserts a centered figure environment, inserts file <name> at scale <scale>, creates a label <name>, and inserts the caption <caption>. So, it is not targeted by the scope mechanism ... But this just served as a specific example. My question was more general. In case I have a custom LaTeX command (any command) that I want to have a syntax colored, i.e., or in case I want to change an existing syntax color behavior, *what is the best way to do it*? I just don't understand yet how to do it so that it does not break forward compatibility. I assume, it would be best to put my own private additions/changes to the syntax coloring into a separate language file, e.g. "LaTeX HF", instead of just writing them into the "LaTeX" language file itself. Is that correct? But, then, how do I either call/include it from the LaTeX file or vice versa? How do I set up such a separate file for my private additions? Thanks.

preview and pdfsync

by Christian Burk

After I run and typesetting a document with command+R, TM shows me an overview of the appeard errors. At the bottom left of this window, there is a link for previewing the document. Now I have 2 question: 1. How could I achieve that the document is automatically displayed for preview? 2. I instaled the file pdfsync.sty in the following directory: ~/ Library/texmf/tex/latex/pdfsync.sty. In the document I called the packaged with \usepackage{pdfsync}. How do I use pdfsync now?

Re: LaTeX testers needed

by Özgür Gökmen

Harris: The bib file lives in the same working directory, so within the brackets was just the bib filename, not the path. Checked out Revision 6386. Quite strangely, I couldn't get the completion commads work at all -- on the very same tex and bib files. Neither via the key combo, nor via the menu. Basic completion via the esc key failed as well. Pointing to another bib file, I got the citation based on current word command working. Label based on current word command prints the word "exit" within the brackets.

Problems to change a bundle menu structure

Well, this is precisely what I tried to do (and I think it had worked that way until a couple of days ago): I clicked on the LaTeX bundle so that the LaTeX bundle menu structure appeared on the right. I could shuffle around commands and separators in the menu structure, and I could remove commands by dragging them to the "Excluded Items" list. But when I tried to add a new command by dragging a command from the LaTeX bundle command list on the left side into the LaTeX menu structure on the right side (that is the way it is supposed to work, isn't it?), that field (the menu structure) did not accept any input. It just did not work. Any suggestions? Holger

LaTeX typesetting results different in Textmate, TeXshop, others

by Holger Frauenrath

Hello everybody, I noticed that the results of typesetting LaTeX files in Textmate gives different results as compared to other TeX programs (TeXShop, iTeXMac). In this particular case, a PDF graphic file was missing, in which case, the TeX typesetting stops with a fatal error (at least, I think that is what should happen), and no output is produced. Accordingly, TeXing in TeXShop gives (as console output): > LaTeX Warning: File `../Figures/polymerization_triamides.pdf' not > found on input line 133. > > Error: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex > (file ../Figures > /polymerization_triamides.pdf): cannot find image file > ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! ... and no new PDF file. However, TeXing in Textmate gives: > LaTeX Warning: File `../Figures/polymerization_triamides.pdf' not > found on inpu > > Found 0 errors, and 60 warnings in 0 runs ... and a new PDF file with 0 pages which prompts PDFView to crash upon trying to update. In other words, Textmate behaves as if there was no error. What I find strange is that I thought that the console output was entirely the responsibility of the TeX engine ... and I have for sure only one TeX distribution installed. Are any parameters passed to the TeX engine from Textmate that control this behavior? If so, is there a reason for the current settings? Or what else could be the reason? On a side note, as you see in the example above all warnings are truncated (no matter what size the console window is). Is there away to avoid this? Holger

CodeCompletion Snippetization

by thomas Aylott

Ahoy TextMateys! Prototype'd Javascript now has better escape code completion and option-escape menu code completion. Also, I updated my TextMateCodeCompletion thing again to support basic snippetization of completions. Prototype completions contain a bunch of method arguments. Like this: Thing.method(one,two) Now, when you select a completion from the menu, it'll convert each of the method arguments into snippet placeholders. This is, of course, just a milestone in the road toward full snippet completion support. The eventual goal is that the completions list is just a list of the names, then when you select one, a unique snippet is inserted for that name. The only problem is that we'll either have to duplicate all of the completions in the escape completions list and the menu completions list or else extend the completions list format to work with both escape completion and menu completion. I think the only way to extend the format is to get Allan to hack textmate to support the new version. And I loathe the thought of wasting my time implementing it one way and then having to reimplement it the right way once Allan gets back. I also reorganized the codecompletion library so that it can more easily be used by other stuff. New methods: to_snippet converts the choice you make into a basic snippet and returns a string. (formerly to_s) choice returns the choice that was chosen as a string index returns the index of the array of the item that was chosen thomas Aylott — design42 — subtleGradient — CrazyEgg

Newbie Questions Concerning LaTeX bundle, PDFView etc.

by Holger Frauenrath

Hello everybody, I have a number of relatively basic questions concerning the LaTeX bundle, the "bundle mechanism" in general, as well as Textmate's interaction with PDFView. I am a newbie to Textmate in the sense that I bought a license about 8 months ago but I have not regularly/ seriously used it until now, and I am sure that I have not fully understood some of the basics yet. So, please, excuse me if some of the questions are "stupid" or have been answered on this list or in Textmate's documentation. It would be helpful to just point me to the relevant parts of the documentation in this case. I should say, though, that I followed the discussions on this list in the last 8 months, and I have also used Textmate on and off, I tinkered around in order to fit it to my needs, tried (and partially succeeded) to wrap my mind around the scope selector mechanism etc. I must say that I am really excited about Textmate's potential, in particular, its flexibility in regard of syntax coloring. If I interpret the recent emails to the TeX on MacOS X mailing list correctly, there is quite a need and a desire for a TeX frontend that has some decent capabilities as a text editor but keeps TeXShop's simplicity. This is why I hope that I am not alone with the following questions (because I feel that this email will be relatively long)! There seems to be a place for Textmate among the folks who use TeX on MacOS X. The point is, I *want* to love Textmate, but some of the following issues/questions keep me from using it on a regular basis. So, here we go. 1. What is (strategically) the best way to include my own additions, e.g., to the syntax coloring? The first thing I tried was to change the original LaTeX language file itself, but I soon understood that was not a good idea. The second thing I tried was create my own LaTeX addition file (which would claimall .tex files and at the end include the original LaTeX language file) but that also seemed to break certain things. In relation to this first question, I think I need to understand the following related questions: 2. Do I understand correctly that the "LaTeX bundle" is somehow officially maintained in the sense that certain improvements and additions are included in the official release from time to time? 3. Is there a "version system" for the bundles? I mean, is there a way to tell that I have the latest version of the bundle (or which one I have installed)? 4. Is a new version of a bundle automatically installed with the Textmate updates? 5. What happens to my own additions when a bundle is upgraded? As far as I understand, my additions are stored as "differences" to the original file. But what exactly happens, for example, when I added/ changed a behavior that is later added/modified/deleted in an updated bundle? Furthermore, I have some questions concerning the typesetting process. Let me start with two observations. The first time I installed Textmate, the TeX console window would pop up when I hit "Typeset", and the results would appear in relatively large chunks as HTML output which seemed rather "slow" compared to TeXShop. The window stayed on the screen when the typesetting was finished. The second time I installed Textmate a couple of months later, (on my MacBook Pro, only in case this matters), the large console window would pop up in the middle of the screen briefly during typesetting, and immediately disappear again when typesetting was finished (which is relatively fast on a Macbook Pro!), not leaving me any chance to at least adjust its size and position. 6. Can anybody give me a clue why there is this difference in behaviors? Has the bundle changed in this respect? Does it matter which type of processor it is run on? 7. Can one bring up the TeX console window without typesetting (e.g. in order to change its size/position)? 8. Is there a way to switch its behavior between one of the following options: Appear upon typesetting (i) always; (ii) upon error; (iii) never; (iv) and close when typesetting is finished? 9. In case there is no way to switch the behavior, would it not be a desirable feature? Would it be possible to include in the LaTeX bundle by default? 10. Are there any advantages to display the results formatted as HTML? Would it not be more appropriate (faster) to make it plain text? And, finally, I have a few questions concerning the interaction with PDFView. Let me start with a few comments again. First of all, I find PDFView a really nice tool! Thanks to the developers! It just feels right. Simple, with a clean interface. The only "complaint" that I have (which is not really one) is that having two applications interact still feels more clunky than TeXShop's integrated solution ... I wonder whether there is any chance to see a PDF Previewer with some basic LaTeX specific functionality (pdfsync, click-to-magnify etc.) included in Textmate? In any case ... 11. How am I supposed to view the current selection/cursor position in Textmate in PDFView? Sometimes (and really not always), selecting a word and hitting Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-O seems to work. Is there a better way? For example, one without previously selecting something, or a simple Cmd-click? 12. Why does it sometimes fail to take me to the correct paragraph (showing the page PDFView had previously shown)? Is this a shortcoming of pdfsync? Again, excuse me for this laundry list of questions. Thank you in advance for your answers, a big Thank You to the Textmate/Bundle/PDFView developers for providing such great tools, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

LaTeX testers needed

by Charilaos Skiadas

I just made some structural changes to the completion commands in the LaTeX bundle, both bibliography and label. It might be a bit slower, and more importantly I might have broken some stuff. So those of you brave enough to try it out, and without a paper deadline in 3 days, please update via svn (both the bundle and the global support directory) and let me know if you encounter any problems. The reason for this change was to remove the large amount of code duplication that existed in these commands. Haris

Bug in PDFView/Textmate?

question: mouse or not?

by Piero D'Ancona

Haris: you mentioned that a command using a mouse is unacceptable. I do not understand this and I am intrigued, would you elaborate? I also hate the mouse and love the keyboard, as any other respectable geek. But this is only because keyboard is much faster and much more accurate. But I have no ideological stance against the mouse. If at some point I find that using a mouse is much more convenient for some purpose, I use it immediately. E.g., I would not draw a picture using the keyboard (neither would you I guess). So the point with the interface for labels is exactly that I feel the keyboard is not the faster tool for the task; clicking in a nice list is indeed faster. I should also mention that I proposed to the PDFView's brilliant developer (Andrea Bergia) to implement a click-on- the-formula feature (you click on the formula in pdf and the \ref is inserted in the tex file...)

R html help

by Paul Levine

Hi Textmate gurus, I have only been messing around with Textmate for a few days now, but I am incredibly impressed, and I can see why it is called "the" text editor for Mac. I had been using TeXshop for LaTeX (which is still a great program, but not nearly as powerful as Textmate), R.app for stats and numerical programming in R, and the X11-based idlde for IDL programming, and now I am glad to be switching to Textmate for all those needs. One thing I am having trouble with, however, is getting the html R help to appear. When I select a valid R command (one for which help (command) in R would bring up the html help page for that command), no help file opens, and the returned tool tip says: /tmp/temp_textmate.eOPTfa:8:in `require': No such file to load -- / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ current_word (LoadError) from /tmp/temp_textmate.eOPTfa:8 I am no scripter, but I looked in the bundle editor at this command, and it is a pretty serious looking ruby script. Will I have to learn ruby to figure out what is going on here? or is it possibly something much more simple that I am overlooking? The first few lines of the ruby script (after the shebang and a comment) are as follows: require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/exit_codes" require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/escape" require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/web_preview" require File.join(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"], "lib/current_word") require 'base64' now, I don't know anything about ruby, but I am guessing that these are perhaps some environment variables that I need to set in the Textmate preferences? If so, what is the proper way to assign more than one location to the TM_SUPPORT_PATH variable? do I simply put a colon between each absolute path name? If so, that takes care of the first three lines, but the last two are still a mystery to me. If anyone could get me going in the right direction here, I would me most appreciative. Like I said before, I am no sctipter, other than the occasional shell script, but one of the really appealing aspects of Textmate is that it seems like a good way to learn about scripting through useful examples. If the solution to my problem is to learn enough ruby to understand what the script does so I can troubleshoot it, so be it, but in the meantime I wonder if there is a simpler solution? Thanks, Paul
