You could do this with ruby for instance: #!/usr/bin/env ruby print "[${1:description}][${2:id}]$0" + STDIN.read + "\n [${2:id}]: ${3:href}"

oops, spoke too soon. You'll want to escape all $ in STDIN.read, so: print "[${1:description}][${2:id}]$0" + STDIN.read.gsub('$','\$')

• "\n[${2:id}]: ${3:href}"

I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks.

Also remember to escape ` and . So that’d be:

STDIN.read.gsub(/[$`\]/, '\\\1')

Instead of a macro, it is also possible to set the commands input to entire document and then use TM_LINE_NUMBER and TM_LINE_INDEX as the carets location.
