Thanks!

And Oyster does Ruby regex, too. So I’m good. Except that what Oyster shows working still does not work in TextMate. :(

This regex:

[`]{3}[\s\S]*?[`]{3}

looks to match a ``` and ``` Markdown code block in Oyster, but doesn’t in TextMate. Have I missed something else?

{ name = 'markup.raw.block.markdown'; match = '[`]{3}[\s\S]*?[`]{3}'; },

I use the app Oyster on Mac to edit and debug regexs. It works nicely, but doesn’t properly predict what TextMate will do with a regex. Something that works in Oyster, does not in TextMate.

Has anyone using Mac found a regex editor that predicts TextMate?

TextMate uses Oniguruma. So does Ruby, so any Ruby regex tester will apply. I like http://rubular.com. m.

Yes, sadly I was trying for multiple lines. I read about that in the docs, but didn’t get a full appreciation for the implications until I read your article: http://www.apeth.com/nonblog/stories/textmatebundle.html

That is recommended reading for anyone working on TextMate 2 grammar definitions.

How does it not work. You're not expecting it to work across multiple lines, are you? m.
