Texinfo Bundle
Over the last few days I’ve been reading the wonderful TextMate documentation in parallel with James Edward Gray II’s excellent TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac. One of the (very few) shortcomings of TextMate is a distinct lack of many of the Emacs modes I’ve grown to rely on when working on GNU Software.
Unquestionably, TextMate is Emacs reimagined for the Mac, and it’s about time I stopped chickening out and running for Emacs when I can’t quite bend TextMate to my will. So, I plan to write the missing modes and distribute and maintain them from here. I picked on what looked to be an easy start with a Texinfo mode, although it turns out to have such a huge number of directives (each with slightly different syntax from the others) that it became a much larger project than I had anticipated.
I see that the TextMate wiki have an outstanding request for implementation of a texinfo mode, and I hope this goes some way towards filling that need. Please bear in mind, gentle reader, that this is my first TextMate mode, and as such is certainly rough around the edges. I would, however, be delighted to receive contributions to improve it in the form of patches and/or constructive criticism. At the moment it provides (very comprehensive) syntax highlighting, a template document and support for the symbol list to jump directly to any node in the current file. There are not yet any commands or macros.
