Hi all-
Not that I couldn't figure out how to make this work, but is there any current facility for substituting Biber for Bibtex in the LaTeX2 bundle? (or, I guess, the original bundle?)
If not, any thinking on the right way to do this; or should I just start hacking?
;-)
Thanks! Charles

Maybe I should clarify what I'm asking here. I have a nice working system with Tinderbox (and an "Edit in TextMate" feature!) producing MultiMarkdown documents.
I'm able to use the MultiMarkdown bundle to produce a LaTeX file that I run through XeLaTeX, BibLaTeX, Biber and Biblatex-chicago-df.
Everything works fine except I have to do a "manual" pass of Biber to get the bibliography correct. Just want to be able to substitute Biber cleanly for Bibtex in one of the LaTeX bundles.
Pointers?
Thanks again, Charles

Hi Gildas-
I looked at the Latex2 bundle this morning. It looks like Alex Ross is moving the "Typeset & View" command away from the script "texMate.py" toward using "executor.rb."
The "Run BibTeX" command still uses texMate.py, and I have no idea whether it will be changed or not.
The cheapest hack is to open texMate.py (in Latex.tmbundle/Support/ bin) and make the following change(s):
line 97: change the string "bibtex" in in popen() argument to "biber"
and optionally:
line 662: change the string "Run BibTeX" to "Run Biber"
which just changes the button name in the "Run BibTeX" window.
If you do this, you'll have to reverse the process to run BibTeX, which might not be what you want.
Obviously, you could make a "run_biber" function like the current "run_bibtex" at line 83, give texMate.py an argument to process around line 569, and then create a new command in the Bundle Editor, but I'll leave that to you...
If Mr. Ross had a moment perhaps he could comment on his plans for the evolution of the Latex2 bundle with regard to BibTeX/Biber?
Also Gildas, if you have an interest in my LaTeX setup, please contact me off-line. I'd be happy to share whatever I can about getting your setup to work the way you want.
Best wishes, Charles

Thank you Charles, all of this information is much appreciated. -- gildas
