Years ago I created websites, but I've been away from all forms of coding for several
years. I purchased TextMate for because one of the screencasts at
http://screencasts.textmate.org/html_text_transformations.mov was so impressive. However
the speaker assumes some non-obvious fundamentals.
When he types "html" suddenly <html> </html> appears on the screen
nicely formatted. Doesn't for me. Hitting the tab key just jumps the cursor to the
right. Hitting return or enter pushes the cursor to a new line. What has he done to effect
the transformation? He doesn't say.
I have figured out that when he typed "doctype" he then hits the tab key to
present some options. That works.
I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8.3 running TextMate Version 1.5.11 (1635)
What basic assumptions am I missing?
Appreciated.

Morley,
I'm using TextMate 2.0 (the alpha version), and <html> completion doesn't
work for me either. But you can just type CTRL+< (or CTRL+SHIFT+comma) for
a generic open/close tag, then type "html", then tab to place the caret
between the open/close tags.
If you click the cog item in the footer, you can see all commands available
for the selected language, including completions.
I hope this helps.
