Textmate fyi: TODOs rock
duus | Sep 5 2006
Hello. I'm an academic and do almost of all my writing in LaTeX or straight text, using textmate. I've become a new fan of TextMate's use of TODO. It's really simple. You imbed literally the word TODO in a comment in the text of anything in your project: % TODO 46. META TASK: Flesh out bibliography, right? more references? and then hit shift-control-T and it will find all the TODOs and make them into one html doc, with links that take you to the doc! Beautiful! Something coders have used in IDEs for a while, but brand new to me in this context. (When you're done, you change the TODO to CHANGED and those are cataloged, too...) 1 Comment

 I use the TODO bundle...Submitted by alan on September 5, 2006 - 1:19pm.
I use the TODO bundle in TextMate as well. It's a nice way to keep track of bits and pieces of things I need to take care of in a writing project. The GTDAlt bundle (for TextMate) is also a super tool. »
