Let me clarify that I understand a plain text file would not generate  
code interactively in another editor. I guess I’m seeking a collection  
of all the idioms you have gathered that could be used for study and  
copy/paste. I recall not knowing how to get at the syntax examples – a  
file type I did not recognize as a Windows user. I don’t mean to create  
significantly more work for you though, as I appreciate all you already  
contribute to the community.

Here’s an example:

[http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Ruby%](http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Ruby%25)  
20Idioms.tmbundle/Snippets/deep\_copy(…)%20%20(dee).plist

Hope that helps.
