On TextMate extras

Like me, there are probably a lot of fresh new TextMate users out there in the audience thanks at least in part to MacHeist, so I thought it would be pertinent to point out a few helpful resources Allan Odgaard (TM's developer) maintai at macromates.com. Of course the searchable mailing list and IRC cha el are handy for getting your discu ion on, over which TM user Brett Ter tra just shared a WordPre templating bundle he's created - quite po ibly a good addition to that theming workflow we just blogged.

Another powerful resource is the TextMate wiki, which houses a plethora of learning tools and resources such as a bundle repository if you're looking for some features or a language not included by default, as well as an R feed for bundle changes. Of course, what text a would be complete without user submitted themes? Last on my resource roundup (but by no mea the end of what's available) are a few TextMate plugi , including a WebMate plugin that tur TM's Web Preview into a full-fledged WYSIWYG HTML editor based on WebKit.

There's a lot more from where all this came from, so dive in or simply get your feet wet with this swi army knife of text editors.
