Hello,
Is there any way to get textmate to print out documents double spaced?
Here's what I do for my Markdown stuff:
- Create a CSS stylesheet for printing. Adjust your line spacing there. - Save it to ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Themes/WebPreview/print.css - Preview your doc in TextMate - Hit ⌘ + P - Enjoy :)
You may have to override some default styles from TextMate, but the effort is *really* worth it.
In fact, I now use "Print as PDF" to create beautiful documentation in PDF for clients from Markdown documents.
Check this quick sample: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bomberstudios/979133640/
I've found the "Inspect Element" command in Safari 3 / WebKit is a really powerful tool for creating your custom CSS file. You could also take a look at the default CSS files in http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Support/themes/default/ to get an idea on what you should override.
I think the TextMate manual does not go give enough information about this feature (it had *nothing* last time I checked :) but it's not rocket science either...
Please share your experiences, I think the whole list would benefit from more information about it.
Hope it helps...
