Folks,
I'm watching Putting Flickr on Rails
(http://www.rubyonrails.com/screencasts) and see the presenter using
TextMate with completion for a new HTML file. Great! How do I "turn it
on"?
Just want to set it and use it. I open a new doc, "application.rhml" in my
rails tree in folder, "layout" and type "doctype" and hit "esc"...nothing
happens - no, I take that back. Textmate beeps at me.
I don't want to become a textmate expert or wade through a lot of
documentation. Is it a bundle setting? A keystroke sequence? Bad karma?
I've gotten pretty good at BBedit in my day, so I'm not daunted by
configuration, but I don't want to (re-)learn unix or vm or whatever to
understand this.
And searching the list archine (http://macromates.com/community) isn't
quickly, concisely yeilding the answer (in the first two pages of results
for "how to use completion".
Please answer this probably incredibly simple question, or point me to the
tutuorial, thread, post or URL where the answer is found.
Thanks,
Ivy
Since I have never used BibDesk in conjunction with TextMate before,
we can rule out #3 and I use option #2 only if #1 doesn't work or
turn up the option I like.
I'm definitely talking about #1, although I was a bit confused
myself, to be honest.
So here are some more details:
(1) I have set the variable TM_LATEX_BIB (there are spaces in the
path, not sure whether that is important).
(2) I type \cite{ and start with the first few letters of a citation
(e. g. King for KingSmithVanderbilt:blablabla). The scope is
text.tex.latex, meta.citation.latex and
constant.other.reference.citation.latex. Sounds alright to me,
although you are clearly the expert here.
(3) I hit escape and nothing happens, no autocompletion or toggling
through my options. Instead, I get OS X' alarm bell.
(4) I hit option + escape and everything works just fine. So TextMate
definitely finds my bibliography file …
If there is anything I can do for regression, just let me know.

PS I will be on a conference Monday through Thursday, so I won't
reply as quickly as I usually do.
Until yesterday, when I entered ":" after a class/id property name like:
.class {
property_name:
As soon as I hit the ":" I'd get ": ;" with a space after the ":"
ready to type the value. Now, suddenly I get no space anymore...
Which is prety annoying because I finally got used to the space being
there automatically... Worse even: when I go to work tomorrow, my
version of TM there is probably going to insert that space and I'm
going to go nuts switching between the 2 versions everyday... :'(
I looked at CSS bundle prefs for PropertyName: { smartTypingPairs =
( ( ':', ';' ) ); } but I don't see where the space came from before
and I didn't change anything there anyway... I don't really care
either if I get the space automatically or not, but it took me a
while to get used to it when TM first started to do that (I kept on
inserting an extra space for like 2 weeks...) so what bothers me is
that behavior changed... again... and I have no idea why.
Happened to anyone else before?
I did remove all the customized bundles and restarted TM fresh, but
the auto insertion of the space is still gone...
Thanks for any help!
Haris,
What a great idea, I saw the commit and thought I'd give it a try.
Unfortunately I didn't have much success.
I have R.app (1.16, R version 2.31) open and running. In the latest
cutting edge I create a new document, choose the R console language
and get the following errors:
> print("hello world")
294:299: syntax error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741)
> x <- 7
152:163: execution error: System Events got an error:
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)
Thanks for all your efforts!

Hi!
Right now I'm writing on the concept for a thesis and it seems that
the bibliography-autocompletion stopped to work.
I openend the bundle-editor and saw that there was no key assigned
it. When I assign Escape I get text-autocompletion, if I assign alt
+esc I get the same, if I assign anything else nothing happens.
Can anyone verify that? I use built 1258 with an actual SVN-checkout
and Bibdesk 1.2.9 for my bibliographies (but the last one shouldn't
be important, should it?)

Same here, I was wondering why that function doesn't work anymore. I
don't use BibTeX (it effed up the special characters in my
bibliography, e. g. umlaute and it took me an hour to clean up my bib
file). Instead, I have set the proper TextMate project variable and
it did work before with the same project.
But until recently, I could use only escape to shuffle through
suitable entries of the bibliography without using BibDesk at all. I
definitely prefer using escape over alt + escape, so if there is any
way to get the old functionality back?
Here's another vote against removing the old escape-only command ;-)

I downloaded the Django Templates bundle and it works fine, but I have
to select it as the active language on all of my template files. I
would rather just select "HTML" as the language and have the Django
Template stuff be included within HTML, just like PHP, Ruby, and
Smarty are.
I took a look at the grammar and tried a few things, but was
unsuccessful at integrating them. Could anyone give pointers on how
that integration should work or, better yet, a working HTML grammar
that includes this change?
Thanks.

Hi,
this is a followup to the thread with a similar name,
but I thought it deserved a new thread since I'm posting
a complete solution (hehe - I'm trapped in a hotel room
in Paris, it's raining here...)
So:
1) create a new command "Lable Table" with
input= entire document
output=Show as HTML
2) the command is the following. (I know, I should
post a .tmCommand file, but I do not know how
so bear with me). GMane requested me to split
the commands, but we have here 6 commands
(5 sed and 1 tr) which should be on one line each.
When joining back the last sed command do not
introduce spaces.
sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" |
sed '/^$/d' |
sed 's/^\([0-9]*\)$/\<p\>\<\/p\>\1/' |
sed 's/\(.\)$/\1\<br\>/' |
sed 's/\\label{\(.*\)}/\<a href=\"javascript:TextMate.system
(\"\/usr\/bin\/osascript \&\>\/dev\/null -e %tell app \\\
"TextMate\\\" to insert \\\"\1\\\"% \&
amp;\", null);\"\>\\label{\1}\<\/a>/' |
tr "%" "'"
3) open a .tex file and experiment. When you click on a label
the argument is inserted. The command and the text
insertion is very fast, and as to usability it's already
better than the standard Label completion (my taste).
Please, some real coder take this stuff and make it into
some serious code, I think the result is pretty amazing
compared with the simplicity. I am not able to extend
the script for multiple files (i.e. one master file and the
\includes), any help?
Ciao,
Piero
Hi list
I am using TextMate full time to write Latex and it's great,
and improving.
One thing I do not like is the CocoaDialog interface to
insert \refs: too slow and clumsy. I (almost) can stand it
for bibliography completion but \refs are too many, too
similar to each other, and too frequently needed, so the dialog
interrupts my workflow. So I started thinking and tinkering,
but my coding skills are too poor (I also sent a msg to this
list asking for help). Finally I think it is better to publish
the idea and let the code wizards code it, if they like it.
My feeling is that this could be the optimal way to insert
references, even better than auctex's.
The idea is very simple: parse the tex file, write
all labels (plus some surrounding text) into an auxiliary
.lbl file, convert this into html, and replace each
\label{...} command with an "a href" to a tiny javascript
command that tells TextMate to insert the label's name
into the source file. Finally, output to HTML. (Improvement:
just search the labels matching a few characters, as it
is now).
Do you see it? This produces an HTML window, with a list of
all my labels, followed by the beginning lines of the
equations (or section titles). More important, each
label is clickable, and when I click on it, the reference
gets inserted into the source file. I can keep the label window
open, so no need to invoke the command over and over.
When I add more equations, I just refresh the window
as necessary.
But I got stuck with some stupid coding problems.
1- Easy to grep the tex file for lines containing a \label
command plus some context. E.g. the following command
outputs line number, plus the \label line, plus two nonempty lines
following it:
sed -n -e "/\\label/{=;N;N;G;p;}" | sed '/^$/d' | sed 's/^\([0-9]+\)$/\n\1/'
2- Easy to save all this info into a file fileName.lbl and
do some rudimentary html-ization (just add <p></p>'s
to separate the labels from each other- you can do much
better I know, but this is fast)
3- Not so difficult to replace each "\label{...}" with the
javascript link. But I got stuck when writing the osascript.
Let me explain. Is is easy to create a link such that, when
I click on it, TeXniscope is activated (e.g.):
<a href="javascript:TextMate.system('open -a TeXniscope', null);">
TeXniscope</a>
Nice! So I said, I'll just insert an osascript telling TextMate to
insert the label reference:
<a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e
'tell app \"TextMate\" to insert .......'", null);">\labe{...}</a>
(of course, "....." must be replaced in both places with the \label's
name, using some bash, and some string must be joined etc etc)
This doesn't work. Why?? even the simple
<a href="javascript:TextMate.system("/ust/bin/osascript -e
'tell app \"Finder\" to activate'", null);">Finder</a>
does not work. This must be some escaping trickery.
Could some pious wizard explain what's
wrong? and even better, like the idea so much to code it?
I do not think it should be hard (for you :).

Piero
Hi,
somebody help me, I guess it takes just a look at this code
to spot what's wrong (for you):
---------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<script>
function letsTry () {
TextMate.system("/usr/bin/open -a /Applications/TeXniscope", null);
};
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id="letsTry">
<a onClick="letsTry()" href="#">Let's Try</a></span>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------
I put this in a p.html file. I then create a command in TextMate
that does " cat p.html " and outputs to HTML. The HTML appears,
but of course clicking on the link does nothing, not certainly
opening TeXniscope as hoped. Documentation(s) perused,
sleep hours lost. Any idea?
