:-)  Man, I've been bit by this more than once. Very irritating. I 
should probably enable the "show invisible characters" option, though I 
am not sure if it works in the language editor.

nah, I just put those there in my attempts to make it work. I'll get 
rid of them.

So, I am guessing there is no way yet to tell TM to use the other 
patterns in the space between begin and end? I tried something stupid 
like " patterns = ( { include = "text.latex"; } ); ", and sure enough 
got a wonderful spinning beach ball and had to restart TM.
So if we want this functionality at this point, the only way would be 
to put all the possible patterns in there? That would result in a lot 
of duplicate code. Sorry, I've asked for this too many times already, I 
promise, this is the last time I mention it. :-)
