Adding items to snippets drawers
To add new items to an existing snippets drawer:
-
Do one of the following choices:
| To start with this: |
Do this: |
| An empty item that you can edit |
Right-click anywhere in an existing drawer, select Customize,
and click . |
| Existing text pasted into a new item in an existing
drawer |
Copy or cut text to the clipboard. In the Snippets view,
right-click anywhere in an existing drawer and click Paste. |
| Existing text pasted into a new item in a new or existing
drawer |
Select the text, right-click, click Add to
Snippets, specify the name of the drawer in the Snippets view
to which you want to add the item, and click OK. |
A Customize Palette window
appears.
-
Type a name for the new item, and, optionally, provide a description.
The value that you type in the Name field
will appear next to the item's icon in the Snippets view.
-
To include in the Template Pattern field
a variable that you have already defined, click Insert Variable
Placeholder. A variable placeholder is a marker that,
when tagging is inserted into the active file, will be replaced by the value
that is entered into the Insert Template:
Item_name dialog
at insertion time. Clicking the Insert Variable Placeholder button
or typing Ctrl+Space activates a pop-up in the text area that prompts you
with the correct sequences to create a marker for the variable. For
example, if you create two variables named uri and prefix,
and create variable placeholders for both, the template pattern might look
like this:
<%@ taglib uri="${uri}" prefix="${prefix}" %>
-
Click OK.
The new item will be added to the list of items in the appropriate
drawer.
