hi, some comments on the new version
Comment 1 the button in textmate's terminal usage dialog tries to make an alias to the mate command in usr/bin
For me this operation failed (not permitted).
Question: I have an existing copy of the link in "~/local" ... Didn't textmate used to expect ~/local rather than ~/bin ? What are we going to settle on?
PS: could you make this command also add whatever folder it looks for to the .bash_profile and also create ~/bin if it doesn't exist? (is it xmas or what :-) )
Comment 2:
"templates" offers only strict version 4 html as a template for html?
Lots of us probably don't write code which is strict v4, so that might be asking for trouble? maybe transitional as an option?
Comment 3 There is no comment 3
take care, t

I'll make the command rm -f «dst» first.

Where people want to keep it seems to depend on personal choice -- TextMate gives you the choice of all the bin locations in your PATH.

Automated edit of .bash_profile is certainly not trivial, so I would rather not edit that, and the user might be using ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, tcsh/zsh instead of bash, or similar. That's why I only present folders which are already in the path.
The install wizard is supposed to make it “just work” for the user which are not too familiar about all these things -- if I install it to an arbitrary location (i.e. not in the PATH), it won't “just work”, and the measures I have to take to make it “just work” are far to complex with the chance that I may break the shell setup.

You should be able to just duplicate the strict template and edit the document type.
I tried to check a few online pages to see what people used, but most was not stating their document type -- apple.com though used transitional.
I'm curious as to which presentation attributes you would need, seeing how most pages today seems to rely heavily on a “pixel perfect” presentation, that CSS provides.
Though it's no biggie to add a transitional template to the default bundle… but we do want to promote good coding practices :)

cool

gotcha, i didn't look closely enough, nor expect you generate that list dynamically from my setup: excellent work.

yeah, but it's a pain.

Strict sets people's browsers into a take no prisoners mode that is very unforgiving of poor html: it is basically asking for lots of pages to break with no good reason.
Also, you can stick an advert for textmate in the template. what would suit me is below.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title></title> <meta name="generator" content="TextMate http://macromates.com/"> <meta name="author" content="Tim Bates"> <!-- Date: Friday January 06 2006 --> </head> <body> </body> </html>

But you only need to do it once, I think he means add a new template.

With the good reason of them not adhering to the standard, I should say :-).
