[TxMt] HTML Special Character Bundles

I came up with these the other day, and thought someone else might
find these useful. They're very small bundles that simply let you type
(while working in HTML) and have properly coded typographic
characters.

I come from a print design background, and am used to being rather
particular with my typography. One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing
a double tick mark (") where a proper quote mark (") should be.

I've been learning to hand-code my websites, but something that always
frustrated me with HTML was having to code out – when I was used
to just hitting opt - (hyphen).

So I came up with the attached snippets that let me do what I wanted
to do - I can type the character as I'm used to typing it, and
Textmate inserts the proper HTML code.

I'll be honest, I got the idea for this when I tried out SkEdit - it
was the one feature that I missed in Textmate. But it was easy enough
to add myself.

Enjoy! I hope there are some typophiles that will like this!
