Any chance of textmate supporting rtf format? I suppose this is raher unnecessary really, just a thought.
Yeah, there's probably a lot of things I should do before venturing into the word processor marked :)
Although if/when I add support for mixed font usage, it could be achieved by disabling on-the-fly parsing and instead use static scopes, which would be setup during import and then used when exporting to RTF or similar — actually quite appealing, since the only real addition (ignoring the lack of mixed/proportional fonts) would be adding support for changing scopes (of the selection/caret) manually.
But this is more like something I can play with in version 4.x ;) The exporter thing however isn't that far off, I already have some proof- of-concept export to XML code. I'm trying to nail the proper interface for this, as I see exporting both useful wrt copying the selection (to XHTML and RTF/NSAttributedString), saving, and something commands may want to use (instead of source-highlight etc.).
