Yes, TextMate is a "What You See is What Is There" editor. It is  
almost impossible to make it show something different than what is in  
the file. The only thing we can have is easily accessible scripts  
that take you back and forth between the two formats, i.e. one  
command that converts all umlauted, greek etc to their LaTeX codes,  
and one that does the opposite.
