In addition to all kinds of general Ruby fame, Dr. Nic is the creator and maintainer of the Ruby on Rails Textmate bundle. Now, it seems that just a few hours ago he noticed that our Ville Lautanala aka Lautis had written a few good bugfixes and changes to the bundle. He then went ahead and merged them to the master branch. And the real kicker here is, that among those changes was the change that adds APIdock-powered documentation macros. Let’s hope that this change sticks so all Rails codin’ Textmate users will be able to enjoy the rich documentation browsing that APIdock provides.
Will the Ruby bundle, which is also maintained by Dr. Nic, follow next?
Update: Origin of the bundle can be changed using following commands:
% cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Textmate/Bundles/Ruby\ On\ Rails.tmbundle
% git remote rm origin
% git remote add -f -t master -m master origin git://github.com/drnic/ruby-on-rails-tmbundle.git
For those of you who aren’t using Dr. Nic’s excellent Rails Textmate Bundle, I’ve created a stand-alone Bundle that adds both Rails and Ruby APIdock-powered documentation to Textmate. Check the link below for details & installation instructions (even if you don’t use git). Anyone want to fork & add rspec support?

A tidbit of history: the Rails bundle was originally created by Duane Johnson (http://blog.inquirylabs.com/) Most of the awesomeness in it, including its internal test structure etc, was created by him. I learned a lot about bundle development from maintaining this bundle!
Nice! Would be great if Dr.Nic’s bundle also included ApiDock support for Ruby documentation (it does so for Rails, but no Ruby). That way the separate APIDock bundle wouldn’t be necessary.
