Hi,
I recently opened some BibTeX documents in TM (which I normally don't do since I use BibDesk) and recognized the following problem: TM tries to fold the BibTeX code, but the end of the BibTeX entries are not reocgnized correctly.
My entries look like this:
@book{ros:02, Address = {London}, Author = {Corey Ross}, Title = {The East German Dictatorship. Problems and Perspectives in the Interpretation of the GDR}, Year = {2002}}
So, the fields are pretty-formatted by BibDesk, they are preceeded by a tab. This causes TM not to recognize the end of the entry.
If the entry looks like this:
@book{ros:02, Address = {London}, Author = {Corey Ross}, Title = {The East German Dictatorship. Problems and Perspectives in the Interpretation of the GDR}, Year = {2002}}
or like this:
@book{ros:02, Address = {London}, Author = {Corey Ross}, Title = {The East German Dictatorship. Problems and Perspectives in the Interpretation of the GDR}, Year = {2002} }
everything works fine.
Is it possible to change the code folding to work with the first version? I suppose many BibTeX users on the Mac will have this problem, since probably almost all of them work with BibDesk ...
Thanks in advance, best regards
Matthias
Hi Matthias,
as far as I can tell, this is not possible atm. Funny enough, the reason is the spaces/tabs in front of "Year". As it stands, the folding will terminate on any line that starts with a non-zero character, because it only checks for the existence of a right brace on the line. However, there is an extra requirement for foldings in TM at the moment, namely that the first non-space character is at the same column location as the corresponding one for starting folding marker. So no luck atm I'm afraid.
Of course it is easy to write a command that replaces the entire document with one with the right brace moved to the next line. In fact, you probably just need:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby STDIN.readlines.each{|line| puts line.gsub(/}}/,"}\n}") }
with input selected text with fallback document, and output replace selected text.
Just out of curiosity, what prompted the need for folding bibliographies? I personally do most of my bibtex work in bibdesk, and I've only used TM for "search and replace" kind of work.

Pity, but no big deal ...

... since of course I am using BibDesk as well. I just opened some .bib files in TM when I was testing a BD nightly version. (And I sometimes use TM for some find-and-replace stuff in my .bib files, but BD has improved so much that this is very rarely necessary.)
I just thought I should mention this because TM provides code folding and it would be nice if it worked correctly in BibTeX mode as well.
Thanks for the quick reply, Matthias
