Hi, I'm new here so be gentle ;) I own BBEdit, I'm trying out TM for the first day and I'm super impressed by everything I've tested so far...
So I go on the WIKI to look for a killer XHTML bundle with all the macros, snippets, and what not that would be useful for basic XHTML web design but I can't seem to find anything else besides the bundled bundle ;) I mean... it's enough to understand how it works and get me started in creating my own, but it's going to take me forever to add every tag snippets, etc... I'm not too big on reinventing the wheel and, although I understand that TM is not specifically geared towards web developers, I'm pretty sure some other web designers out there must be using TM as their editor no?
I guess my question is: did I miss something? Or there's no other HTML bundle besides the one that includes only href, mailto, meta, and p??
thanks for any help :) ......................................... m i n i m a l d e s i g n 244 Fifth Avenue - Suite P233 New York, NY 10001-7604 USA

I haven't really checked it out myself yet but the HTML bundle should be reasonably complete:

OK, we'll send in the heavies another day then ;-)

Great, but wait until you've used it for 100 days and is still impressed by the app. That's when you're truly impressed ! ;-)

Hmm, you're right, the HTML bundle looks a bit neglected right now. I'll do some work on adding a bunch of basic snippets to it a.s.a.p.
I guess, why I - and perhaps other users - haven't noticed it, is that I have created my own snippets along with my basic workflow. So instead of having a snippet that does a basic <div...>...</div> type of thing, I have a snippet that does: <div id="header"> ...my normal header content... </div> and so on for my normal building blocks. A bit hard to explain, but I hope you get the idea.
The key thing here is to "Think different" and look at the bigger picture of your workflow. So to do a simple html page, I basically type divHeader[tab] divBody[tab] divFooter[tab]
plus a few tabs within each snippet to add the bits within them. (Simplified example only, without the internal content in the div's)
I'm not too big on reinventing the wheel and, although I understand that TM is not specifically geared towards web developers, I'm pretty sure some other web designers out there must be using TM as their editor no?
I will post you some of my bundles off-list and then you could have a look at them. Perhaps you could also tell me (us) what bits are still missing after that to make a killer XHTML bundle in your mind ??
thanks for any help :)
You're welcome ! Hope you'll help us make TM better as well ;-)
Kind regards,
Mats

I think this is your intention but it would be great if any work you did ended up online and easily downloadable for two reasons:
1. New people to TM will often be in the same position
2. I would really like to see how others have configured there program : P

PS. I am not really pushing the boundaries of TM yet so I have nothing to share put I will if/when I can contribute to the group.

Mats, where, pray tell, can we download these?

Don't worry. All the non-personal-workflow stuff will end up in the public SVN repos later on today/tomorrow for everyone to use, and once there it will most likely also be included automatically in future releases of TM. I'm working on it now.
To get better (at least in my mind) HTML/CSS/JS syntax's than the default stuff, download the PHP.tmbundle from the SVN repos. Instructions on how to do this can be found here: [ http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki?n=Main.SubversionCheckout ] These syntax files will be further improved with the release of 1.1b6 or later, so they are still work in progress.
Kind regards,
Mats
