1) How do I insert a variable + som eother text if another one is
empty? I tried using this:

${TM_SELECTED_TEXT/^.+$/${TM_COMMENT_START} SOURCE\n\n$0/}

${TM_COMMENT_START} SOURCE

and not
# SOURCE

which would be appropriate for Tcl.

I don’t follow. Why would you not expect it to insert $ {TM_COMMENT_START} when you explicitly put that in the replacement string?

I am not sure what you want, but you do not need to use regexp replacements for “fallback values”. The second example here shows the syntax: http://manual.macromates.com/en/snippets#variables

2) What would be the best way to set up comment characters? There
seems to be a number of approaches here, so I am a bit confused hwo do
do this:

- The Tcl bundle defines TM_COMMENT_START, which is what ROBOdoc expects
- The C bundle (being more flexible when it commes to commenting) also
defines TM_COMMENT_START_2 and a TM_COMMENT_END_2 for the /* */ style
of comments, which ROBOdoc expects.

So now, I need to test for the presence of TM_COMMENT_START_2 and
output that, or TM_COMMENT_START, depending on what is available. What
would you do (in a beginner language, please).

There is a few commands in the Source bundle that *read* these variables.

You do not have to replicate the comment toggling functionality, simply setup the variables for your language and the Source bundle comment commands will work with those variables.
