I can't decide if this is a TextMate question or a GREP question, but
here goes.
Like a lot of people, I frequently use HTML comments like this to
remind myself where known problems exist:
> `<!-- FIXME sibling P tags not taking margin/padding in IE/Win -->`
Given that TextMate is pretty good at piping output from shell
commands, would it not be possible to automagically generate a running
"TODO" list in a file using a command similar to this...?
> `grep -r FIXME /Users/USERNAME/Sites/FooProject/`
Is that sensible? And how might I set that up in a doc to refresh
itself? Better as a separate shell script I'd call up somehow? Maybe
better off as manual macro I run when I want updates? TIA.
(Man, I'm just *loving* the possibilities of this app)
