[txmt-dev] Re: Question about PlugIns

[Caleb Land]

I spent some time playing with making a regular bundle, and I think that I can make some of the functionality work.  

The current (textmate 1) plugin has some functionality that I don't think I will be able to implement, like selecting matching tags. AFAIK there isn't a way to update the selection from a bundle command.

Part of the problem is that Emmet is written in javascript, so I have to bundle Node in my bundle for it to work.  

I realize things are still in flux, so a bundle command that gets me the most useful features of emmet will work fine, but a more official plugin API would be cool.

I'd try to come up with something, but I'm still learning how TextMate2 works.

I'll see where this bundle solution works.
