What is the best way of adding in regularly used blocks of code when marking up in TextMate?

Question

Caveat: I'm relatively new to coding as well as TextMate, so apologies if there is an obvious answer I'm missing here.

I do a lot of HTML/CSS markup, there are certain patterns that I use a lot, for example, forms, navigation menus etc. What I would like is a way to store those patterns and insert them quickly when I need them.

Is there a way to do this using TextMate?

Answer 1

As mentioned prior snippets are what you are looking for.

For reference look here: http://manual.macromates.com/en/snippets

Thanks guys, Snippets sound like exactly what I was looking for.

Answer 3

Along with the links provided above, I think you'll find this screencast useful. It gives a run through of some of the tools TextMate's HTML bundle already provides.

It's probably slightly off-topic though, but worth a look nonetheless.
