[TxMt] Re: escaping characters (in the document)

[Brian Landau]

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but over at
subtleGradient they have a TextGlyphs bundle. You can check it out
using subversion or you can use the copy I'm attaching. The address
for the subtleGradient SVN repository is:
http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/

Hope that helps!
