AHHHHHHH!!!
Looks like the update Textmate pushed yesterday changed (or jut broke) the way the editor handles XHTML vs. HTML and now all the tags I have it generate are being added in HTML fashion (eg. <img> vs. <img />). Before I think it just autodetected based on doctype (i dunno, I just never had to think of it before).
Help me change it back please.
(sorry for the whine, but I’ve got a pile of coding on my plate and no time to fiddle with stuff.. guess i shouldn’t have taken the update yesterday knowing the situation.. but silly me thought it was just a easter egg thing)

I guess its a case of RTFM (or RTFRN).. A few “releases” down the list on the version notes I see:
[2006-10-15: REVISION 1292]
[NEW] HTML bundle: HTML tags inserted which have an EMPTY content model now place the value of the TM_XHTML variable before the closing ‘>’. If you want these tags to use the minimized (XHTML) form, go to Preferences > Advanced and set TM_XHTML to “ /”. In the future this variable will automatically be set for documents with an XHTML document type. Though let me just remind anyone planning on writing XHTML pages to (re-)read http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
And since i don’t live on the ‘cutting edge/ I probably got a few of the other updates yesterday along with the immediate changes.
