Allan,

Thanks for the tip--I can see Markdown is going to make my life much easier!

One follow-up question: Brett Terpstra alluded to an HTML bundle he was working
on that would offer the option of omitting the link title lookup. I downloaded
the snippet (a .bin file) he had attached and double-clicked on it, but nothing
happened.

Then I figured maybe the update would be in the bundle repository at
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/, but I couldn't figure out how to
update these or load them from different sources.

Any instructions for updating bundles appreciated--
thanks as always for your help.
