Feature requests and fixes

(so that the do not get lost before integrating them into the bundle) --Mojca 02:55, 28 January 2008 (CET)

support more engines (--lua) and other preferences

See

Bundles -> LaTeX -> Preferences

or

Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/texMate.py

(hmmm ... it even supports texexec :)

(check how LaTeX does different things through menus)

autocomplete

Try

<a[alt+esc]

on HTML and implement the same for ConTeXt (try to figure out how to implement that with less S-es).

add texshow's help

Parse XML (or some other form) natively, without the need for web version (or both) and display html window.

[opt+R] on projects

Any chance to compile the main file when the file starts with \component?

scroll down in the log window automatically

(and blink or something if compilation fails)

Edit Commands/typeset.tmCommand to include

<key>autoScrollOutput</key>
<true/>

weird tab completions

How does one use this one?

\date ${1:[${2:...,...=...,...}]}[${3:...,...,...}]
$4

Also, it would be nice to:

• be able do completion as

\definesomething
    [...]
    [...]

• use sensible names instead of dots where possible (maybe misusing italic is possible)

\externalfigure [file][...,...=...,...]

• have the endings:

\stopsomething

for example (cloned from HTML):

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

doc        = STDIN.read
line       = ENV['TM_LINE_NUMBER'].to_i
line_index = ENV['TM_LINE_INDEX'].to_i

if ENV.has_key? 'TM_INPUT_START_LINE' then
  line       = ENV['TM_INPUT_START_LINE'].to_i
  line_index = ENV['TM_INPUT_START_LINE_INDEX'].to_i
end

before = /(.*\n){#{line-1}}.{#{line_index}}/.match(doc)[0]

#before.gsub!(/<[^>]+\/\s*>/i, '')

# remove all comments
before.gsub!(/[%].*/, '')

stack = [ ]
before.scan(/\\(start|stop)([a-zA-Z]+)/) do |m|
  if m[0] == 'start' then
    stack << m[1]
  else
    until stack.empty? do
      close_tag = stack.pop
      # print ">>#{close_tag}"
      break if close_tag == m[1]
    end
  end
end

if stack.empty? then
  %x{ osascript -e beep &>/dev/null & }
else
  print "\\stop#{stack.pop}"
end

disable smart typing \& comments after backslash

clone from LaTeX bundle (maybe it could be simply inherited yrom TeX somehow?)

more possibilities for tab-completion

when there are optional parameters, offer all of them for tab-completion and offer their descriptions (see how it's implemented in CSS)

Unicode bundle

• browse (by name/description/code) and insert unicode glyphs
• help about the character under cursor

Graphical

Is it possible to have a graphical menu with math symbols for example?

Won't fix

(comments by Patrick)

refresh viewer

Can't get this to work on my machine (tiger, power pc, german ui)

• http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040314102550515&query=tell%2Bmenu%2Bbar%2B1

improve this code & import it into open link:

pdf=${TM_FILEPATH%tex}pdf

PDFFILE=echo "${pdf}" | sed -e 's/.[^.]*$/.pdf/'
PDFBASENAME=basename ${PDFFILE}

echo "
tell application \"System Events\"
 if exists process \"Preview\" then
 tell application \"Preview\" to activate
 tell process \"Preview\"
  tell menu bar 1
   repeat with currentItem in (every menu item of menu \"Window\" of menu bar item \"Window\" whose name contains \"${PDFBASENAME}\")
    click currentItem
    click menu item \"Close\" of menu \"File\" of menu bar item \"File\"
   end repeat
  end tell
 end tell
 end if
end tell
" | osascript
# open ${PDFFILE}

open -a ${PDF_VIEWER:=Preview} "${pdf}"

Fixed in 0.7

parse_texexec_output.rb

• remove

str.gsub!("\n", "<br>")

• add

str = str.gsub(/^.*Insecure world writable dir.*?\n/, '')

• Replace

str = str.gsub(/(.*?):(\d+):(.*)/, "<a href='txmt://open?url=file://#{dir}/#{file}&line=\\2'>\\1:\\2:\\3</a>")

with

str = str.gsub(/(.*?):(\d+):(.*)/, "<a href='txmt://open?url=file://#{dir}/\\1&line=\\2'>\\1:\\2:\\3</a>")

else errors point to wrong locations in case of project structure.

$$ pairs

create a new P

{       highlightPairs = (
                ( '(', ')' ),
                ( '{', '}' ),
                ( '[', ']' ),

                ( '[', ']' ),
                ( '$', '$' ),
        );
 # no idea what that is (copied from text)
        unIndentedLinePattern = '^\s*$';
 }

fix env[tab]

\start${1:text}
$0
\stop${1/(\w*)(.*\n*)*/$1/}

add itm[tab]

\\startitemize
\\item $0
\\stopitemize
