If you make the following script a command (I called it "enscript buffer"):

#!/bin/bash # close stderr exec 2<&- # set options here enscript_opt="-2Gr --line-numbers -o -" tempfile="/tmp/texmate-print.$$.pdf" # note: "$$" is the current pid pstopdf_opt="-i -o $tempfile" # create the pdf and open it enscript $enscript_opt | pstopdf $pstopdf_opt open $tempfile rm $tempfile

input: Entire Document, output: Discard

your default PDF viewer (probably Preview.app) will pop up with the buffer's contents in two columns with line numbers and 'fancy' headers. You can then print from that pdf viewer.

see "man enscript" for many potential options; the ones I used were:

-2 two columns -G fancy headers -r landscape mode --line-numbers obvious -o - output to stdout

It doesn't look like "mpage" is a standard tool installed on OS X; if it was, you could do some additional interesting things with arranging text (like more than 2 pages per page). I bet you could install it from somewhere and use it though, if you needed its capabilities.

For two column, landscape layout, just choose the "Layout" set of options from TM's print dialog.

For line numbering, you'll have to use the "Create HTML from Document" command (in the TextMate bundle) to produce a html representation of your source (there's even an option to display line numbers). Save the output to a .html file and open it in Safari. From there you can select page layout options from Safari's print dialog. It also preserves the theme you're using, so select a theme and font that is suitable for printing before using the "Create HTML..." command.

I am wondering if there are settings that can be adjusted for setting up printing support in TextMate. I would like to print line numbers and change the font to a more printer friendly choice. Also (dreaming here), being able to print landscape on the page in a two col style would be killer. Any thoughts?

It seems to me (a non-programer even) that it is THIS sort of solution to a problem that gives me warm feelings about TextMate!!

The design approach results in a sense that "It's not just a text editor, it's an editing framework!" Or something. Although the functionality of enscript is not built-in to TextMate, it is fully AVAILABLE to TextMate. I'm reminded of the fellow who "augmented" TextMate into being his favorite editor for writing Dramatic Scripts. (!)

"It's a breath mint! It's a floor wax! It's a chameleon! It's fabulous!" :)

There must easily be 20 or 30 other similar "case studies."

I'm curious about the "Dramatic Script" extension(s) -- is this something that was posted to the mailing list in times past, or a bundle in the repository, or...?
