css language definition patch - TextMate

28 Jul 2006


      I am sending the patch I have created for the css language definition  
to the list for anyone who is interested to check out.  I am also  
including an example of why I created it.  The example saved as  
a .css.rb file and can be executed with cmd-R in TextMate to produce  
the resulting css file in the same folder.
I have tried every possible way I can think of to do this without  
changing the CSS language definition and don't believe it is  
possible.  If someone can do it, I would love to learn! :)
There is a post from Allan here: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/ 
textmate/2006-April/009943.html that says this kind of thing may be  
supported in 2.1 at the earliest, but for now it is not possible.
Enjoy!

The example:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'erb'
css = <<HERE #css
<% width = 50 %>
#header
{
   /* the header is twice as wide as the content */
   width: <%= width * 2 %>px;
}
.some_content, .some_other_content
{
   width: <%= width %>px;
}
HERE
File.open(__FILE__.sub(/.rb$/, ''), "w") do |file|
   file.puts ERB.new(css, 0, '%<>').result
end
HERE
File.open(__FILE__.sub(/.rb$/, ''), "w") do |file|
   file.puts ERB.new(css, 0, '%<>').result
end
