Years ago I created websites, but I've been away from all forms of coding for several years. I purchased TextMate for because one of the screencasts at http://screencasts.textmate.org/html_text_transformations.mov was so impressive. However the speaker assumes some non-obvious fundamentals.
When he types "html" suddenly <html> </html> appears on the screen nicely formatted. Doesn't for me. Hitting the tab key just jumps the cursor to the right. Hitting return or enter pushes the cursor to a new line. What has he done to effect the transformation? He doesn't say.
I have figured out that when he typed "doctype" he then hits the tab key to present some options. That works.
I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8.3 running TextMate Version 1.5.11 (1635)
What basic assumptions am I missing?
Appreciated.
