Hi,
after my successful attempt to output a "designated" test url in  
Safari, I'd now like to make a command which shows the rendered html  
in a TextMate browser window. That is show _the actual html itself_,  
not the browser-interpretation of that html.
My system of scripts and templates generate html. Now I like to see  
that output html with nice code coloring in my favorite theme.
I see roughly two solutions: output the result of 'curl "$MY_URL"' in  
a TextMate HTML browser window or create a new (html) document from  
that output.
I would like the HTML Browser window variant much better.
For (1) because it keeps only one window –i.e. it refreshes itself  
when it's already open, instead of opening a 2nd window–, (2) because  
I won't be tempted to edit the output HTML, and (3) because when I  
might become really smart –for which the changes are extremely slim,  
based on previous records ;)– I might be able to give blocks of html  
code a href to jump back to the specific code in the specific  
template file (I just *love* the TODO bundle. It saved me so much  
time. Life has become much more convenient :-))
My first problem is the with output of Apache restarting: it's not  
quiet.
I need Apache to restart for all the last versions of my templates to  
become effective, but the following code
	echo "$PWD" | sudo -S apachectl $APACHE_CMD
(line 43 from apachectlUsingKeychain.sh in Apache Bundle Support  
Folder) outputs "Password:", since sudo is asking for that. Is there  
a way to make this statement quiet?
2nd, about the Create New Document variant. How to set the scope of  
such a newly created document? Right now there is nothing indicating  
to TextMate that is might be html, so the output stays unstyled.
Finally on to the core of this email: How to get HTML pretty printed  
in a (HTML parsing) browser window?
I am looking at examples like pastie [1] or TextMate Theme Sourcerer  
[2]. Are the solutions used in these web 2.0 projects also available  
for my TextMate commands?
Best
