Since templates were discontinued I've been using this AppleScript to make a quick HTML doc:
I suggest you change the command to a snippet with your desired boilerplate.
In this snippet you can use backticks to execute commands and then use TM_MATE to set the language of the current document, for example make the snippet like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>`"$TM_MATE" &>/dev/null -t text.html.php &` <html lang="da"> …
When inserted, it should change document type to `text.html.php`.
Another more declarative approach is via the PHP grammar’s first line match, though as your first line is currently matched by the HTML grammar, you need to make two changes:
1. Go to Bundles → HTML → Language Grammars → HTML and clear the First Line Match text field.
2. Go to Bundles → PHP → Language Grammars → PHP and change the First Line Match to this:
^#!.*(?<!-)php[0-9]{0,1}\b|<?php|<!DOCTYPE html>
Now when the first line of a document contains `<!DOCTYPE html>` TextMate will change type to PHP, this inclundes inserting your HTML boilerplate in a new untitled document.
[…] The problem is rather unusual. It appears that System Events is reversing the order of the commands.
It was likely caused by [26e66b8](https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/26e66b887a96b8062d86461cd97a561e...).
This change was made to fix another issue, it won’t be the last change related to synchronous command execution, but I am not sure TextMate should guarantee anything about the order in which things are done when running a command which produce output and send key strokes to TextMate (while running).
So I hope one of the two approaches suggested above will be acceptable solutions.
