Hello!
I moved to html.erb but the snippets fail to work.
eg
.rhtml
lia(tab) gives me link\_to
.html.erb
lia with a tab after it =)
I have tried the comment suggested here:

"
1. Select Bundles \> Bundle Editor \> Edit Languages… from the menu bar.
2. Find and un-collapse the Rails bundle in the left-hand list. 3.
Select the ‘Ruby on Rails’ item. In the code editor at left, the second
line should say `fileTypes = (‘rxml’);` Just change this to `fileTypes = ( ‘rxml’, ‘builder’);`. 4. Select the ‘HTML (Rails)’ item. Here we’re
doing pretty much the same thing—change that second line to `fileTypes = (‘rhtml’,’erb’)`. 5. Close the Bundle Editor window. You’re done.
From then on, any .erb or .builder files you open will be treated like
the .rhtml and .rxml files they’re replacing.
"
I tried both erb and html.erb for the HTML(rails) fileType, and reloaded
bundles and restarted textmate.
Still nothing.
I would like to move to this extension format but will have to remain on
rhtml until i can get the bundles working with it.

problem solved.
