Dear LaTeX and TeX Users,
The PracTeX Journal (the International Online LaTeX/TeX Journal) has
been publishing articles since 2005. Since its first edition, TPJ has
presented a wide range of articles on the practical use of LaTeX and
TeX. During these years, we have worked hard to present articles that
are useful to our readership. Among these articles are ones that
describe tools and techniques that can be used for teaching or
commercial purposes.
The PracTeX Journal brings together researchers and practitioners from
diverse fields, such as mathematics, physics, computer science, social
sciences, business, education, and others. Our purpose is to present
ideas on the use of LaTeX and TeX among different disciplines and
platforms, through the sharing of techniques as well as examples of
LaTeX and TeX markup.
+++++++++++
Highlights

Hi,
This is my first post.
When using TM the auto bracket closing feature is great but I wonder if it's
possible to change it's behaviour slightly.
What I get currently:
function {
}
What I would like:
function
{
}
I appreciate that hitting return after typing 'function' would achieve me
this but is there a way of TM taking care of this?

You can also press alt+enter to insert a literal newline (or tab with
alt+tab) into the find box and do replace all.
Hi,
Been using TextMate for a while, but I came across two simple things that I
couldn't figure out how to do. FIrst, I had a text file that I had to find a
specific character position in the file.. ie. character 2456. There's no
way, that I can see, to go to that specific character position. The status
bar at the bottom shows lines / character, but not absolute character
position.
The second one was, in the same problem, I wanted to combine all the lines
in a file into one long line - I couldn't find a "remove line endings"
command. How would I do this?
Thanks!
John.
Hello,
HELP! I have recently had to re-enter my registration key in another
version of Textmate on my MAC laptop.
But now when I edit (in LaTeX but this problem is independent of the
bundle), instead of Textmate automatically highlighting a single,
entire line (under preferences), Textmate only underlines the current
line according to the chosen highlight color. The cursor marker is
also visible, as a blinking underscore. How can I reset to the my
earlier setting where the actual line is completely highlighted? I
have tried all color and theme combinations.
Thanks a lot,
Matthew
Hi there,
If some variable starts with "C", the whole line which contains that
variable and where it at the very first place highlighted as comment. I
suppose it comes from old F77 style, where C denotes comment, but it's
not necessary now. Is there any way to fix it? My current way-around is
to put single space before that variable, but in this case overall code
doesn't look as nice as before.
Thanks.

Hi
I'm doing some Objective-C exercises in TextMate. Up until now, I've
put everything (interface, implementation and main) into one file and
hit cmd-R (presumably activating the C bundle's Run command) to see
the output. Now I want to use separate files, with the #import
command. Unfortunately, when I try this, I get an error about how my
class can't be found. Here's the code :
#import "Rectangle.h"
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
Rectangle *rectangle = [[Rectangle alloc] init];
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
And the error it gives:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_Rectangle", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in ccccStDD.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
I understand that I can do this in Xcode, or using the terminal, but
since I'm making quick changes, I want to see the results quickly.
Making a change and hitting cmd-R let me do this easily.
I looked at the Xcode bundle, which also has a "Run" command, but it
seems to require an Xcode project to work.
Is there a way to get my files to link automatically before running? Thanks.

Dear all,
thanks to some threads in the mailing list, i got a project drawer
showing me the file status of my git stuff.
But I seem to recall that it was also possible to get git actions
reachable via right-click somehow? I could not make that work so far.
Any hints?
Best regards,
Michael

Hi,
I am using the wonderful Rdaemon-bundle in TextMate.
But now I stumbled over a big problem parsing code to the Rdaemon
(by selecting the code and pressing CMD+T or selecting "execute selection").
It is a rather long script and some of the lines at the end of the script do not get parsed correctly.
They kind of get completely screwed up leading to error messages.
For example, this line in the original code:
for(i in 1:length(x)) { prt_reduced[,x[i]] <- reorder(prt_reduced[,x[i]], c(2,1)) }
looks like this after pressing CMD+T:
> for(i in 1:length(x)) { prfor(i in 1:length(x)) { prfor(i in 1:length(x)) { prfor(i in 1:egory
Error: unexpected 'in' in "for(i in 1:length(x)) { prfor(i in"
It seems to have something to do with the length of the script.
When I just execute this line, or chunks of code step by step, it works fine.
But if I try to run the whole script (with CMD+A, CMD+T) strange things happens at the end of the script (like this screwed up line above).
If I try to make the code smaller (delete lines etc.), it seems like different lines get affected by this strange behavior
(at it always happens at the end of the script).
So it seems to have nothing to do with particular lines of codes, but as I said, the length of the script.
As if at some point the parsing of code to the Rdaemon doesn't work anymore (perhaps something like buffer-overflow?).
hope someone can help!
thanks.
Hi, I would like to convert the tmlanguage format into the plist format that
is used by the bundles in the repo (writing a command for to be used for
writing languages that will render some text to html using ultraviolet so I
can test the language).
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!!!
Brandon
Hello,
How can I include the boost library in a c++ program with TextMate?
So I can run programs like using TextMate.
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
int main()
{
using namespace boost::lambda;
typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in;
std::for_each(
in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " );
}
Thanks for the reaction,
Andre
Hi, I would like my Ruby command to replace the selected text, or show a
tooltip in some situations. I see there is a command for doing this with
bash: exit_show_tool_tip. However this:
puts `exit_show_tool_tip "Error message"`
isn't working for me. Is there some way to do this from inside a Ruby
command?
Thanks
Brandon
Hi,
I'm new to both Textmate, web dev and the list. I was able to preview via
the HTML Bundle to Firefox 6, however I can't preview in FF7.
Any help would be great! Thanks.
The following ticket was opened as follows: Status: open, reported by Ryan Cornelsen on 2009-08-20 (request)
It reports as currently still open after 2 years…
Is there any news of status update on this request, as I would too like to re-iterate the request as it is an invaluable option…
Regards,
Basil
I've upgraded to Lion yesterday and I've configured TextMate to use a dark background. Lion's new hidden scroll bars are now unusable, I cannot see them when scrolling.
While I have enabled the scroll bars by default now (and there are good reasons why), TextMate should work with the default configuration of the OS. Will there be an update that makes TextMate more amenable to Lion's new UI elements?

Hi again,
After playing around with it it only works if there is nothing before it. When I start a line with then I have 2 different colors one for % and one for the name of the array.
But the moment I put even a space before the %array or declare it or it's inside a parenthesis of a function then it does not work it gets a generic color...
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best,
John

Subject: [TxMt] Re: Coloring Syntax

Hello John,
You can match multiple tokens on the same line and assign them to different coloured groups like this:
{ name = 'meta.entity.ksp';
match = '^(\%)([a-zA-Z0-9_]\w*)';
captures = {
1 = { name = 'punctuation.ksp'; };
2 = { name = 'entity.ksp'; };
};
},
Notice that both tokens to be identified have parentheses around them in order to be captured. The "captures" list follows standard regexp convention, that is, 0 is the matched string, 1 is the first matched group in parentheses, 2 is the second matched group, and so on.
Not specifying the "captures" list (like in your example) is the same as using capture "0," which is the entire matched string.
In my example, I assigned a different syntax scope identifiers to each token, allowing me to colour them individually.
By the way, the character class "[a-zA-Z0-9_]" is exactly what "\w" represents, so you could shorten your pattern to,
match = '^(\%)(\w+)';
which matches at least one, possibly more, contiguous word characters.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
I see in that FAQ that the scroll-bars visibility issue is indeed a "frequently asked question," but it doesn't appear to be even a "singularly answered question."
Is there a work-around?
By the way, thanks for the link. TextMate not re-opening its windows on restarting was driving me crazy!

Hi dZ,
Thanks for your help.
At first this didn't work in my bundle even though it should, so I created a new generic bundle besides the generic keyword and string, I pasted the code you wrote and it works
ONLY if the %array[] starts at the beginning of the text. If I need to declare it (in my syntax: declare %array[16] or if it's inside a function as an argument or parameter) then it does not work...
Even then that (starting the %arr[] in the start of a line) does not work in my bundle either obviously it has other code that might be conflicting...
Unfortunately I do not know enough to fix it myself so any input or help is greatly appreciated.
This question expands to the rest of the syntax of my language:
$variable
@strings_variable
!string_array etc...
but once I figure out how to color the signifiers different for one then the rest should be easy.
Thanks,
John

Hello,
I have a question about syntax coloring. I am using the below code to signify that this is let's say an entity scope
{name = 'entity.ksp';
match = '(\%)[a-zA-Z0-9_]\w*';
},
% is actually the signifier for a variable array so when I go to the preferences and change the scope to entity then those words that start with %array get a certain color.
The problem is that the whole word including the "%" symbol gets colored.
So here is my question to the textmate gurus.
Is there a way to have the "%" symbol a different color and the word array a different color?
What would be the code to accomplish that. Any pointers or ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I thought I would give ctags in Textmate a try. I installed the TmCodeBrowser.tmplugin and got stuff in the CodeBrowser window only for C. ctags is supposed to work for lots of languages so I tried Pascal and Python but the CodeBrowser window remained empty.
To attempt further failure, I downloaded the ctags source and an Ada language extension for ctags. I did the minor editing required of the ctags source to incorporate the Ada thing and built it. It was installed in /usr/local/bin so I moved it to /usr/bin (after re-naming the ctags that was originally there) because /usr/bin appears before /usr/local/bin on my PATH.
Same results--C only.
I can run ctags on an Ada file and a tags file is generated in the same directory that looks like it has lots of relevant stuff in it, so why doesn't the TmCodeBrowser.tmplugin pick it up?
Ideas?

I forked sql.tmbundle on github, installed it in my Bundles directory,
and started editing the syntax via the Bundle Editor. They worked,
and I committed and pushed the changes; they ended up in a .tmDelta
file, which sounds right. But a co-worker who cloned the repository
isn't able to install it; TextMate complains that info.plist is
corrupt.
Meanwhile, TextMate somehow deleted all BUT the info.plist and tmDelta
files. Is that normal, too? I pushed that version, but he gets the
same corruption error there. We're both on 1.5.10 (1631), OSX 10.6.8.

Actually, not a newbie, been using Textmate for years but
I'm wondering about something I'm seeing that's obviously
an error or warning indicator.
Bundle: PHP
Version: 1.5.10
Database: MySQL
OS: some flavor of Linux - someone else is hosting
Here's an example of the code
$HTTP_POST_VARS['guest0_zipcode']=$row[9];
Under the string "guest0_zipcode" is dotted red/white
which I assume to be an error or warning but I have no
clue what it really means. I'm baffled, can't find it
in the manual, (or I've completely overlooked it).
I'm using about 20 other variables with the same prefix,
guest0_ (yes, that's a zero, not an OH) and none of them
have the dotted line under them.
Another tidbit - every use of the user-defined variable "zipcode"
is flagged with this indicator, e.g.
$HTTP_POST_VARS['guest0_zipcode']=$HTTP_POST_VARS['zipcode'];
and
$HTTP_POST_VARS['zipcode'] . "',
Is there something magical about the word zipcode in Textmate? I'm
completely stumped.
Anyone have any insight to what's going on?
thanks
Hi,
Is it possible to disable the help-overlay for functions in the R / Rdaemon package?
(so if i start to write a function like mean( … I get a small yellow overlay window with the possible arguments etc.)
It sometimes takes really long on my machine till the overlay appears after I type a function
and during that time, I can't do anything except to wait.
Also, when I mistype a function-name, it seems like this help mechanism is searching even longer since it probably loops through all the function-names.
This half-second in which I can't do anything is kind of annoying and most of the time I don't really get important informations through this overlay window.
thanks!
