Textpattern templates made easier
This is so nice it deserves a post of its own instead of just a sidebar mention. There is now a plugin available for Textpattern, called mcw_templates that allows you to export pages, forms and css for working in your favourite text editor… and then import them again. If TextMate happens to be your favourite text editor, you’re in even more luck; there’s a Textpattern language bundle available. Sweet.
So far I’ve only installed the plugin on a test site and tried the export function. It will probably do a lot for themes development on Textpattern. Not as nice as the templating possibilities in WordPress or Expression Engine, but a big step in the right direction.
Found the links in Jon Hicks’ sidenotes.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate that, yes I do. Im trying to solve the interference problems that came up with HTML, and also some Issues that came up with inherent key-settings, mostly UUID, I’m getting further down to the bottom now and shortly there will be an improved version available, that will solve most of those problems.
Alan was also so kind to open an entry for Textpattern at his Blog, so if you detected any oddities or bugs, that would be the right place to report it.
Evaluation Data would definitely be helpful to improve this Bundle, which is still in its infant stage.
Before I forget to mention, Brad Choates new Blogging Bundle was reported to work with Kusors new XML-RPC testing version, I haven’t tried it yet myself, but it was something that was always on my wish-list, to have a working API for Textpattern of that kind.
regards, marios
