In June 2009, TextMate 2 was announced as being about 90 percent complete, but with an undisclosed final-feature list. Throughout 2007, the core application changed only minimally, though its “language bundles” continued to advance. On 8 August 2006, TextMate was awarded the Apple Design Award for Best Developer Tool, at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, to “raucous applause.” In February 2006, the TextMate blog expressed intentions for future directions, including improved project management, with a plug-in system to support remote file systems such as FTP, and revision control systems such as Subversion. TextMate continued to develop through mid-2006. Reviews were positive, in contrast to earlier versions that had been criticised. On 6 January 2006, Odgaard released TextMate 1.5, the first “stable release” since 1.0.2. In the series of TextMate 1.1 betas, TextMate gained features: a preferences window with a GUI for creating and editing themes a status bar with a symbol list menus for choosing language and tab settings, and a “bundle editor” for editing language-specific customizations. TextMate 1.0.2 came out on 10 December 2004. Even so, some developers found this early and incomplete version of TextMate a welcome change to a market that was considered stagnated by the decade-long dominance of BBEdit. At first only a small number of programming languages were supported, as only a few “language bundles” had been created. The release focused on implementing a small feature set well, and did not have a preference window or a toolbar, didn't integrate FTP, and had no options for printing. You can see the results by looking at the source code for this post.TextMate 1.0 was released on 5 October 2004, after 5 months of development, followed by version 1.0.1 on 21 October 2004. It’s a simple thing, but it works very nicely and requires very little effort from me. Hitting tag again moves the cursor after the closing anchor (where the $0 is), and it’s ready for me to add another tag. I type in the tag name and it’s automatically put at the other $1 spot. The boilerplate is inserted, and the cursor is set at the first $1. I create each individual tag by typing “ttag” and hitting the Tab key. The Bundle Editor window should now look like this I call this snippet “Technorati tag” and give it a Tab Trigger Activation of “ttag,” but feel free to use whatever will be easy for you to remember. Now make another snippet and paste this into the right pane: $1$0 The HTML comments before and after the paragraph are probably not necessary, but I’m modeling this on how ecto handles Technorati tags, and ecto puts the tag paragraph between comments. ![]() It sets the font to a smaller size and right-justifies the paragraph. You’ll notice that the paragraph is assigned the “tags” class, which is a class I created in my Movable Type CSS stylesheet. The snippet text is inserted and the cursor is left between the opening and closing paragraph tags (where the $0 is), ready for the individual tags to be inserted. When I’m done with my post, I go to the bottom and type “gtag” followed by a tab. (Click on the image to see it at full size.) I used a Tag Trigger called “gtag.” when you’re done, the Bundle Editor window should look like this I called it “Technorati tag group.” Then set the Activation to a Key Equivalent or a Tag Trigger that’s easy for you to remember. (You could probably put this in the HTML section or the Plain Text section if that’s how you write your posts, but I haven’t done it that way myself.) Paste the following text into the right pane, Īnd give the snippet a name that means something to you. ![]() Open the Bundle Editor window (menu item Window:Show Bundle Editor) and create a new snippet in the Markdown section. The first creates the paragraph into which the tags will go, and the second creates the tags themselves. My goal was to add tags like this to the ends of my posts (you can scroll down now to see what they look like) with as little typing as possible. With this in your post, you should be able to find it on Technorati’s site by asking for the “blogging” tag. To get Technorati to recognize tags in your post, you must add HTML that looks like this: blogging I write the posts using the Markdown plain-text format, which accepts-and doesn’t mess with-embedded HTML.
