Linux user for 10 years. Bought a Mac six months ago. Bought TextMate 5.99 months ago. Wrote a novel (most of a first draft) with Vim in LaTeX compiling to PDF. Plan to write one during NaNoWriMo using TextMate; using Markdown that compiles through LaTeX to PDF (and also compiles to EPUB). First Post here. Enough. Staccato. Typing.
Howdy.
Presently, I've modified Kitabu (github) which gives me a set of rake tasks that do this just fine. I'd rather drink the TextMate kool-aide and create a Bundle that does what I want. I bought Scrivener (the document project tool), but it's not quite my style---I don't like the text in RTF, don't like how it manages content under the covers. I probably shouldn't care about that, but I did write a novel in LaTeX. Published an unwieldy Sci-Fi milieu "mock encyclopedia" in LaTeX, too. So, I'm used to under the covers. :-)
Looking at the assorted bundles, I noticed the TODO bundle has some of what I want (ability to display output via pop-up screen like word counts). But, I'm looking for some sort of tutorial or guide to creating a bundle. Maybe my googler isn't working and I just couldn't find it when I went looking.
BTW, stoked that PmWiki is the wiki engine; been using it for six years.

If you feel like pouring some time into it, I've found the TextMate book by Pragmatic[1] to be a *very* good investment.

Thanks. I have that title. Is that enough to work from?
