Do Bookmarks not persist between sessions? I just spent an hour setting up bookmarks in a markdown syntax template, thinking I'd be able to open the document in the future and F2 (Next Bookmark) through the doc to make changes.
It seems bookmarks are not permanent. Why not? Is there plans to make them so?
Hmm, where would you like the info to be stored? Inside the file, using some special syntax that's alien to other editors and compilers? Or in a different location, which would mean the bookmark data could be corrupted by editing the file in a different editor. This issue is clearly not as simple as it sounds, because TM works on plain text files, in contrast to a custom file format.
IMO, bookmarks cannot be implemented properly (go ahead Allan, prove me wrong :-). Automatic bookmarks (that "boomark" each line matching a certain pattern), would be much more useful.
That way, I could still bookmark arbitrary lines by including the pattern in a comment, for example. It's not so differen from using special syntax to store the information inside the file, but then I get to decide on how to embed it, depending on what I use the file for.
