Hey All,
I know there aren't any bundles for Coldfusion out there so HTML bundle has worked ok. But the one thing that is really annoying is opening a coldfusion document with comments in it.
HTML comments work fine: <!-- something here -->
CFM comments have problems <!--- something else here --->
It shows like it's an incorrect syntax and everything below that point gets dimmed out like it's a comment. Any ideas on how to make these types of comments look right for me? Something quick and easy is preferable.
Thanks. Josh
I just tried your suggestion an it didn't seem to work. Forgive my lack of TextMate knowledge but can I just add something like an "OR" somewhere so that -- and --- would be valid matches?

Why not add a space after the begin lookup and a space before the end lookup for the HTML comments in the HTML languages bundle?

Sorry, I thought you didn't want CF commands to be highlighted.. you could replace "--" with "(--|---)" for comment.block.html. Example:
{ name = 'comment.block.html'; begin = '<!(--|---)'; end = '(--|---)\s*>'; patterns = ( { name = 'invalid.illegal.bad-comments-or-CDATA.html'; match = '(--|---)'; } ); }

Perfect! Thanks so much Richard! This has been driving me nuts for sometime now.
Is this something that I'll need to add each time I update TM?

No -- this change has resulted in a customized HTML grammar in ~/ Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/HTML.tmbundle.
This is not ideal because if the HTML grammar is updated you won’t see these changes.
Instead it’s generally better to create a new grammar which includes the old one, and then use the new one for your files, I have made such CFM grammar which you can click to install, then use that with your CFM files (and change back the HTML grammar, changing it back should bring it back to the default state, but to be 100% sure you may want to remove it from ~/Library/…) -- this also has the advantage that your CFM files then actually show as ColdFusion.
Hi Allan,
I tried changing it back and using the coldfusion.tmlanguage you made but it's not correcting the coldfusion comments. It's looking like it did when I started. Any ideas?

No i didn't. It works now but I assumed that it would recognize the .cfm and set it to coldfusion itself. Will I have to manually set this eachtime I open a .cfm file? Or is there something I need to make it recognize .cfm files automatically?

It would, had you not previously instructed TM to use HTML for your .cfm files.

No -- change it once, and TM remembers it.
Sweet! Thanks Allan!
And thanks for making such a great editor. :)
