Hello, to all,
I haven't been able to continue my threads due to some serious Issues in TB mail client In fact the only solution was to subscribe again.
That's why I am opening a new thread. Sorry for that.
In the meanwhile I had the chance to scan the archives for valuable information on this subject and I indeed found most of the missing pieces of the puzzle. I finally came to understand, the syntax used in those plist files.
I have started a second version of the grammar that is mostly derived from the syntax model used in the experimental Html Bundle, except it doesn't use a full tree, that resolves to an exclusive root node with recursive references. Instead it requires an include value for each tag in the repository , while the custom attributes and values are only referenced from the repository items (I'll see if I can group them later).
I have done it that way, since I came to realize, that any attempt to follow the example in the experimental XHTML Grammar, would have been:
1)Unsuitable for the current meta language
2)Too complex for this purpose.
Yes I have been scanning those thousands of lines of code over and over again and Tm makes that very convenient with all it's search functionality, bookmarks and so on. I like that modularity approach of the syntax and try to see, if I can adapt it to my needs.
Before I proceed to finally construct the Language from the core module that I have, I started asking myself, weather I have followed the right strategy ,and if not, well. there is always enough time to adapt.
There are however a couple of questions that turned up, that I hope, some of you might be able to answer.
1)How do I insert a snippet inside a snippet ?
I'd like to tab through a code block, that I have, at certain variable insertion points, I have other snippets, that I call through tab triggers,that again have variables that need to get inserted into the first snippet, and after the last variable of the second snippet the cursor shall return one newline after the last insertion point of the last variable of the first snippet,or the zero variable. How do I do that ? (Command ?, macro?)
EDIT.: I've had a couple of inconsistencies with using snippets in snippets, sometimes it didn't trigger if the Insertion point was a nested variable with two placeholders itself, then backspacing would swallow the last character of the tabtrigger keyword of the second snippet.
Oh, well, it worked after a couple of keystrokes.
2)Key bindings
After realizing that certain key bindings are lost after the previous update, I am not able to use certain custom key bindings, I'm not able to recall right now, which ones they are.
How can I reset the key bindings for TM system wide ?
3)FoldingStopmarkers and FoldingStartmarkers not working.
I can't get those going, I use the following code (All most Identical with the html bundle):
foldingStartMarker = '(?x)
|(<(?i:head|body|table|thead|tbody|tfoot|tr|div|select|fieldset|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl)\b.*?> |<!--(?!.*--\s*>) |{{?(if|foreach|capture|literal|foreach|php|section|strip) |{\s*($|?>\s*$|//|/*(.**/\s*$|(?!.*?*/))) )'; foldingStopMarker = '(?x)
(</txp:(?i:comment_permlink|file_download_link|if_article_author|if_article_category|if_article_list|if_article_section|if_author|if_category|if_comments|if_comments_allowed|if_comments_disallowed|if_comments_error|if_custom_field|if_different|if_excerpt|if_first_article|if_individual_article|if_last_article|if_plugin|if_search|if_section|if_status|link_to_home|link_to_next|link_to_prev|newer|older|permlink|php)>
|(</(?i:head|body|table|thead|tbody|tfoot|tr|div|select|fieldset|style|script|ul|ol|form|dl)> |^(?!.*?<!--).*?--\s*> |{{?/(if|foreach|capture|literal|foreach|php|section|strip) |^[^{]*} )';
4)Bookmarks: How can I make them consistent after closing and reopening a file?(on my Install id didn't work)
Again I apologize for not answering my previous topics and I thank anyone who answers this post in advance.
best regards, marios

Embedded snippets are presently not supported. They can be inserted using key equivalents or the “Select Bundle Item…” functionality of latest cutting edge builds, but the tab triggers will not work inside a snippet, nor will an inserted snippet, inside a snippet context, merge the two “tab chains.”

Say that again? Lost key bindings? TextMate should not lose key bindings after update.
As for resetting them, this depends on which key bindings you have set, there are basically 3 types [1]

For help with this, please:
1) drag the language grammar from the bundle editor to Finder, then to Mail (should produce a tmLanguage file)
2) send a snippet of code which is “not working”

This only works on Tiger (and is default) -- are you using Tiger?
