A weblog about TextMate, the Universe, and Everything
After some discussion on the #textmate IRC channel, we decided to break the “Insert Environment/Command based on word” command in two commands. So I decided to take this opportunity to talk about TextMate’s LaTeX bundle in general, and how I go about using it.

I just took my first steps in Ruby by improving on one of the LaTeX commands in TextMate. It’s the command used for creating environments, or it can also be used for plain commands. The way it works is as follows: Suppose the current word, or selection, is Read the rest of this entry »name. Then, upon executing the command (current shortcut is Ctrl-<), depending on what name is the current word or selection will be replaced by:

First of all, notice the wonderful coloring scheme. It is fully customizable through the Preferences menu, and there are lots of custom themes made by users. Now look closer. You will notice that the window is slightly transparent! You can adjust the transparency level as you see fit, or disable it altogether.

In the last couple of weeks I have been busy preparing for and giving two talks. One was a talk to the math department at Chicago State University, on stuff related to my research. The second was a general audience science colloquium here at Illinois Wesleyan University. They both have been great experiences, and have boosted my confidence about giving talks in front of faculty, something I’ve always been afraid of. For both presentations I used the wonderful LaTeX class called Beamer. The beamer class allows you to create powerpoint style presentations, with slides and overlays, straight from LaTeX. It is pretty easy for anyone with basic LaTeX experience to use. You can find the pdf files I used for my two talks here. I found out about it through my use of TextMate, when someone added snippets for it to the LaTeX class. In other words, I got very lucky
