I played around a bit with the keyboard settings and now I see this too on my device. 

I'll fix it in an update. 

Thanks for reporting this bug!
This TextMate manual entry explains how language grammars work: http://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars#language_grammars

Hello,

the TextMate manual explains how themes work: http://manual.macromates.com/en/themes


You need to understand the concept of scopes and scope selectors to be able to create your own themes: http://manual.macromates.com/en/scope_selectors

In Textastic, you can tap on the editor with three fingers to see the scope under the cursor. 

It's probably easier to have a look at the huge amount of themes that is available for TextMate. There's a large collection at http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes
I've never seen this error before and do not have it on my device, sorry. Did you try to reboot the iPad and see if that helps?
In the meantime, you can use an alternative web browser app. I believe iCab Mobile can show you the source code of a website and allows you to copy it it. There are probably other apps as well.

An alternative bundle for Windows cmd and bat files can be found at https://github.com/adamv/windowscmd-tmbundle
Textastic 3.0 doesn't include a syntax definition for R and it's also not in the manual anymore.

But, you can install your own syntax definitions. This is explained in the manual at http://www.textasticapp.com/v3/manual/lessons/How_can_I_add_my_own_syntax_definitions_and_themes.html


A TextMate bundle for R can be downloaded at https://github.com/textmate/r.tmbundle

Why do you want to dismiss it? Just leave it open. It takes away some screen real estate but you can move it where you want it.

But, of course I'll think about your idea.
