I think it's a great idea. I think just a few more HTML friendly features would bring a lot more people over to Textmate that are currently using Dreamweaver or BBedit.
A wishlist I would think of, but not sure if possible:
- Can it auto close the tag when you hit the closing bracket? It would need to be sophisticated enough to know when NOT to close a tag, say if you had an IMG for instance.
- For the HTML editor, would it be possible to draw up a list of the classes in your attached stylesheet when you type CLASS=""? Same goes for ID.
- Can we make the tab key indent text, instead of ALT + TAB? Might not be possible, just worth a check!
- I keep whinging about code coloring and I know it's not the end of the world, but the ability to target specific tags in your color theme would be great!
- Special Characters, is there any way to go through the document and replace or find them all automatically? That would be handy.
- It would be nice to be able to target certain types of files in the search and replace.
Of course, I have no idea what's out of the scope and what's possible for you, so apologies if I am asking too much! I have no idea how to do any of this myself either, but I'd love to help with testing if it's a help.
Thanks for doing this!

So, if you would use such a feature, please reply to this message. Please also reply with what other features you'd like to see in this.
I'd be keen on something like that, but curious as to if it might work within include files for PHP (e.g. no doctype in the file...)
and would it cope with embedded and inline css as well?
