Hi,
OK, I'm making a new template for my SHTML files. My first question: how do I make the tab stops work properly?
When I use the following template, [...] . Anyway, the tab stops aren't working at all, so I must be making some mistake. I just can't find it.
The variables for selected text and date *do* work.
don't mix up templates and snippets. Only if one inserts it as "Insert as Snippet" the TABs are working, a template inserts everything only as plain text.
But Hendrik Nyh found a nice solution: a "Snipplate" bundle http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/02/snippet-power-templates-in-textmate
Install that bundles http://henrik.nyh.se/uploads/Snipplate.tmbundle.zip
and open it with the bundle editor to modify/copy/... it.
An other approach is to provide a NIB dialog for entering initial data. This is useful for complex templates.
Cheers,
--Hans
