Are you familiar with Markdown? Perhaps it would be more effective for you to write the first draft of your text in Markdown and press ⌃⇧H to generate the HTML -- Markdown will convert <http:// macromates.com/> into <a href="http://macromates.com/">http://macromates.com/</a>
Allan,
Thanks for the tip--I can see Markdown is going to make my life much easier!
One follow-up question: Brett Terpstra alluded to an HTML bundle he was working on that would offer the option of omitting the link title lookup. I downloaded the snippet (a .bin file) he had attached and double-clicked on it, but nothing happened.
Then I figured maybe the update would be in the bundle repository at http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/, but I couldn't figure out how to update these or load them from different sources.
Any instructions for updating bundles appreciated-- thanks as always for your help.
