[TxMt] building snippets?

[Lewis Overton]

I'm trying to learn about writing useful snippets for things I do often. It
looks like I need some conceptual help. For example, I use this snippet:

<tr>
>     <td><cite>${1:title}</cite></td>
>     <td>${2:composer}<br />
>     arr:${3:arranger}</td>
> </tr>
> </table>$0
>

with a tab trigger of </table>

already helps a lot when building tables of works performed. It nicely gets
rid of the ending </table> and inserts another set when I press tab at the
end of the snippet.

That worked so well I got greedy. I'd like to cause the snippet to force the
title be Title Case.

A second interest is an easy way to get rid of the break and the arranger
when the piece doesn't have one without killing the ability to use a tab
trigger at the end. I can use lots of deletes. Is there a better way.

Fascinating tool, TextMate.
