When you reload those modes become parents of the +# original mode. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# $ tree +# . +# |-- c-mode +# | |-- .yas-parents # contains "cc-mode text-mode" +# | `-- printf +# |-- cc-mode +# | |-- for +# | `-- while +# |-- java-mode +# | |-- .yas-parents # contains "cc-mode text-mode" +# | `-- println +# `-- text-mode +# |-- email +# `-- time + +# The ``.yas-make-groups`` file +# ----------------------------- + +# .. image:: images/menu-groups.png +# :align: right + +# If you place an empty plain text file ``.yas-make-groups`` inside one +# of the mode directories, the names of these sub-directories are +# considered groups of snippets and `The YASnippet Menu`_ is organized +# much more cleanly, as you can see in the image. + +# Another alternative way to achieve this is to place a ``# group:`` +# directive inside the snippet definition. See `Writing Snippets`_. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# $ tree ruby-mode/ +# ruby-mode/ +# |-- .yas-make-groups +# |-- collections +# | |-- each +# | `-- ... +# |-- control structure +# | |-- forin +# | `-- ... +# |-- definitions +# | `-- ... +# `-- general +# `-- ... + + +# YASnippet bundle +# ================ + +# The most convenient way to define snippets for YASnippet is to put +# them in a directory arranged by the mode and use +# ``yas/load-directory`` to load them. + +# However, this might slow down the Emacs start-up speed if you have many +# snippets. You can use ``yas/define-snippets`` to define a bunch of +# snippets for a particular mode in an Emacs-lisp file. + +# Since this is hard to maintain, there's a better way: define your +# snippets in directory and then call ``M-x yas/compile-bundle`` to +# compile it into a bundle file when you modified your snippets. + +# The release bundle of YASnippet is produced by +# ``yas/compile-bundle``. The bundle uses ``yas/define-snippets`` to +# define snippets. This avoids the IO and parsing overhead when loading +# snippets. + +# Further more, the generated bundle is a stand-alone file not depending +# on ``yasnippet.el``. The released bundles of YASnippet are all +# generated this way. + +# See the internal documentation for these functions + +# \* ``M-x describe-function RET yas/define-snippets RET`` +# \* ``M-x describe-function RET yas/compile-bundle RET``. + +# Customizable variables +# ====================== + +# ``yas/root-directory`` +# ---------------------- + +# Root directory that stores the snippets for each major mode. + +# If you set this from your .emacs, can also be a list of strings, +# for multiple root directories. If you make this a list, the first +# element is always the user-created snippets directory. Other +# directories are used for bulk reloading of all snippets using +# ``yas/reload-all`` + +# ``yas/ignore-filenames-as-triggers`` +# ------------------------------------ + +# If non-nil, don't derive tab triggers from filenames. + +# This means a snippet without a ``# key:`` directive wont have a tab +# trigger. + +# ..

This works in buffers where the minor mode +# ``yas/minor-mode`` is active; + +# \* By invoking the command ``yas/insert-snippet`` (either by typing +# ``M-x yas/insert-snippet`` or its keybinding). This does *not* +# require ``yas/minor-mode`` to be active. + +# \* By using the keybinding associated with an active snippet. This also +# requires ``yas/minor-mode`` to be active; + +# \* By expanding directly from the "YASnippet" menu in the menu-bar + +# \* By using hippie-expand + +# \* Expanding from emacs-lisp code + +# Trigger key +# ----------- + +# When ``yas/minor-mode`` is enabled, the keybinding taken from +# ``yas/trigger-key`` will take effect. + +# ``yas/trigger-key`` invokes ``yas/expand``, which tries to expand a +# \*snippet abbrev* (also known as *snippet key*) before point. + +# The default key is ``"TAB"``, however, you can freely set it to some +# other key. + +# .. image:: images/minor-mode-indicator.png +# :align: left + +# To enable the YASnippet minor mode in all buffers globally use the +# command ``yas/global-mode``. + +# When you use ``yas/global-mode`` you can also selectively disable +# YASnippet in some buffers by setting the buffer-local variable +# ``yas/dont-active`` in the buffer's mode hook. + +# Trouble when using or understanding the ``yas/trigger-key`` is easily +# the most controversial issue in YASsnippet. See the `FAQ `_. + +# Fallback bahaviour +# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +# ``yas/fallback-behaviour`` is a customization variable bound to +# ``'call-other-command`` by default. If ``yas/expand`` failed to find +# any suitable snippet to expand, it will disable the minor mode +# temporarily and find if there's any other command bound the +# ``yas/trigger-key``. + +# If found, the command will be called. Usually this works very well -- +# when there's a snippet, expand it, otherwise, call whatever command +# originally bind to the trigger key. + +# However, you can change this behavior by customizing the +# ``yas/fallback-behavior`` variable. If you set this variable to +# ``'return-nil``, it will return ``nil`` instead of trying to call the +# \*original* command when no snippet is found. + +# Insert at point +# --------------- + +# The command ``M-x yas/insert-snippet`` lets you insert snippets at +# point *for you current major mode*. It prompts you for the snippet +# key first, and then for a snippet template if more than one template +# exists for the same key. + +# The list presented contains the snippets that can be inserted at +# point, according to the condition system. If you want to see all +# applicable snippets for the major mode, prefix this command with +# ``C-u``. + +# The prompting methods used are again controlled by +# ``yas/prompt-functions``. + +# Snippet keybinding +# ------------------ + +# See the section of the ``# binding:`` directive in `Writing +# Snippets`_. + + +# Expanding from the menu +# ----------------------- + +# See `the YASnippet Menu`_. + +# Expanding with ``hippie-expand`` +# ---------------------------------- + +# To integrate with ``hippie-expand``, just put +# ``yas/hippie-try-expand`` in +# ``hippie-expand-try-functions-list``. This probably makes more sense +# when placed at the top of the list, but it can be put anywhere you +# prefer. + +# Expanding from emacs-lisp code +# ------------------------------ + +# Sometimes you might want to expand a snippet directly from you own +# elisp code. You should call ``yas/expand-snippet`` instead of +# ``yas/expand`` in this case. + +# As with expanding from the menubar, the condition system and multiple +# candidates doesn't affect expansion. In fact, expanding from the +# YASnippet menu has the same effect of evaluating the follow code: + +# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp + +# (yas/expand-snippet template) + +# See the internal documentation on ``yas/expand-snippet`` for more +# information. + +# Controlling expansion +# ===================== + +# Eligible snippets +# ----------------- + +# YASnippet does quite a bit of filtering to find out which snippets are +# eligible for expanding at the current cursor position. + +# In particular, the following things matter: + +# \* Currently loaded snippets tables + +# These are loaded from a directory hierarchy in your file system. See +# `Organizing Snippets`_. They are named after major modes like +# ``html-mode``, ``ruby-mode``, etc... + +# \* Major mode of the current buffer + +# If the currrent major mode matches one of the loaded snippet tables, +# then all that table's snippets are considered for expansion. Use +# ``M-x describe-variable RET major-mode RET`` to find out which major +# mode you are in currently. + +# \* Parent tables + +# Snippet tables defined as the parent of some other eligible table +# are also considered. This works recursively, i.e. parents of parents +# of eligible tables are also considered. + +# \* Buffer-local ``yas/mode-symbol`` variable + +# This can be used to consider snippet tables whose name does not +# correspond to a major mode. If you set this variable to a name , +# like ``rinari-minor-mode``, you can have some snippets expand only +# in that minor mode. Naturally, you want to set this conditionally, +# i.e. only when entering that minor mode, so using a hook is a good +# idea. + +# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp + +# ;; When entering rinari-minor-mode, consider also the snippets in the +# ;; snippet table "rails-mode" +# (add-hook 'rinari-minor-mode-hook +# #'(lambda () +# (setq yas/mode-symbol 'rails-mode))) + +# \* Buffer-local ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` variable + +# This variable provides finer grained control over what snippets can +# be expanded in the current buffer. The default value won't let you +# expand snippets inside comments or string literals for example. See +# `The condition system`_ for more info. + +# The condition system +# -------------------- + +# Consider this scenario: you are an old Emacs hacker. You like the +# abbrev-way and set ``yas/trigger-key`` to ``"SPC"``. However, +# you don't want ``if`` to be expanded as a snippet when you are typing +# in a comment block or a string (e.g. in ``python-mode``). + +# If you use the ``# condition :`` directive (see `Writing Snippets`_) +# you could just specify the condition for ``if`` to be ``(not +# (python-in-string/comment))``. But how about ``while``, ``for``, +# etc. ? Writing the same condition for all the snippets is just +# boring. So has a buffer local variable +# ``yas/buffer-local-condition``. You can set this variable to ``(not +# (python-in-string/comment))`` in ``python-mode-hook``. + +# Then, what if you really want some particular snippet to expand even +# inside a comment? This is also possible! But let's stop telling the +# story and look at the rules: + +# \* If ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` evaluate to nil, no snippets will +# be considered for expansion. + +# \* If it evaluates to the a *cons cell* where the ``car`` is the symbol +# ``require-snippet-condition`` and the ``cdr`` is a symbol (let's +# call it ``requirement``), then: + +# * Snippets having no ``# condition:`` directive won't be considered; + +# * Snippets with conditions that evaluate to nil (or produce an +# error) won't be considered; + +# * If the snippet has a condition that evaluates to non-nil (let's +# call it ``result``): + +# * If ``requirement`` is ``t``, the snippet is ready to be +# expanded; + +# * If ``requirement`` is ``eq`` to ``result``, the snippet is ready +# to be expanded; + +# * Otherwise the snippet won't be considered. + +# \* If it evaluates to the symbol ``always``, all snippets are +# considered for expansion, regardless of any conditions. + +# \* If it evaluate to ``t`` or some other non-nil value: + +# * If the snippet has no condition, or has a condition that evaluate +# to non-nil, it is ready to be expanded. + +# * Otherwise, it won't be considered. + +# In the mentioned scenario, set ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` like +# this + +# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp + +# (add-hook 'python-mode-hook +# '(lambda () +# (setq yas/buffer-local-condition +# '(if (python-in-string/comment) +# '(require-snippet-condition . force-in-comment) +# t)))) + +# ... and specify the condition for a snippet that you're going to +# expand in comment to be evaluated to the symbol +# ``force-in-comment``. Then it can be expanded as you expected, while +# other snippets like ``if`` still can't expanded in comment. + +# Multiples snippet with the same key +# ----------------------------------- + +# The rules outlined `above `_ can return more than +# one snippet to be expanded at point. + +# When there are multiple candidates, YASnippet will let you select +# one. The UI for selecting multiple candidate can be customized through +# ``yas/prompt-functions`` , which defines your preferred methods of +# being prompted for snippets. + +# You can customize it with ``M-x customize-variable RET +# yas/prompt-functions RET``. Alternatively you can put in your +# emacs-file: + +# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp + +# (setq yas/prompt-functions '(yas/x-prompt yas/dropdown-prompt)) + +# Currently there are some alternatives solution with YASnippet. + +# .. image:: images/x-menu.png +# :align: right + +# Use the X window system +# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +# The function ``yas/x-prompt`` can be used to show a popup menu for you +# to select. This menu will be part of you native window system widget, +# which means: + +# \* It usually looks beautiful. E.g. when you compile Emacs with gtk +# support, this menu will be rendered with your gtk theme. +# \* Your window system may or may not allow to you use ``C-n``, ``C-p`` +# to navigate this menu. +# \* This function can't be used when in a terminal. + +# .. image:: images/ido-menu.png +# :align: right + +# Minibuffer prompting +# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +# You can use functions ``yas/completing-prompt`` for the classic emacs +# completion method or ``yas/ido-prompt`` for a much nicer looking +# method. The best way is to try it. This works in a terminal. + +# .. image:: images/dropdown-menu.png +# :align: right + +# Use ``dropdown-menu.el`` +# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +# The function ``yas/dropdown-prompt`` can also be placed in the +# ``yas/prompt-functions`` list. + +# This works in both window system and terminal and is customizable, you +# can use ``C-n``, ``C-p`` to navigate, ``q`` to quit and even press +# ``6`` as a shortcut to select the 6th candidate. + +# Roll your own +# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +# See below for the documentation on variable ``yas/prompt-functions`` + +# Customizable Variables +# ====================== + +# ``yas/prompt-functions`` +# ------------------------ + +# You can write a function and add it to the ``yas/prompt-functions`` +# list. These functions are called with the following arguments: + +# \* PROMPT: A string to prompt the user; + +# \* CHOICES: A list of strings or objects; + +# \* optional DISPLAY-FN : A function. When applied to each of the +# objects in CHOICES it will return a string; + +# The return value of any function you put here should be one of +# the objects in CHOICES, properly formatted with DISPLAY-FN (if +# that is passed). + +# \* To signal that your particular style of prompting is unavailable at +# the moment, you can also have the function return nil. + +# \* To signal that the user quit the prompting process, you can signal +# ``quit`` with ``(signal 'quit "user quit!")`` + +# ``yas/fallback-behavior`` +# ------------------------- + +# How to act when ``yas/expand`` does *not* expand a snippet. + +# ``call-other-command`` means try to temporarily disable YASnippet and +# call the next command bound to ``yas/trigger-key``. + +# ``return-nil`` means return nil. (i.e. do nothing) + +# An entry (apply COMMAND . ARGS) means interactively call COMMAND, if +# ARGS is non-nil, call COMMAND non-interactively with ARGS as +# arguments. + +# ``yas/choose-keys-first`` +# ------------------------- + +# If non-nil, prompt for snippet key first, then for template. + +# Otherwise prompts for all possible snippet names. + +# This affects ``yas/insert-snippet`` and ``yas/visit-snippet-file``. + +# ``yas/choose-tables-first`` +# --------------------------- + +# If non-nil, and multiple eligible snippet tables, prompts user for +# tables first. + +# Otherwise, user chooses between the merging together of all +# eligible tables. + +# This affects ``yas/insert-snippet``, ``yas/visit-snippet-file`` + +# ``yas/key-syntaxes`` +# -------------------- + +# The default searching strategy is quite powerful. For example, in +# ``c-mode``, ``bar``, ``foo_bar``, ``"#foo_bar"`` can all be recognized +# as a snippet key. Furthermore, the searching is in that order. In +# other words, if ``bar`` is found to be a key to some *valid* snippet, +# then that snippet is expanded and replaces the ``bar``. Snippets +# pointed to by ``foo_bar`` and ``"#foobar`` won't be considered. + +# However, this strategy can also be customized easily from the +# ``yas/key-syntaxes`` variable. It is a list of syntax rules, the +# default value is ``("w" "w_" "w_." "^ ")``. Which means search the +# following thing until found one: + +# \* a word. +# \* a symbol. In lisp, ``-`` and ``?`` can all be part of a symbol. +# \* a sequence of characters of either word, symbol or punctuation. +# \* a sequence of characters of non-whitespace characters. + +# But you'd better keep the default value unless you want to understand +# how Emacs's syntax rules work... + + + +# * snippet-development.org +# ================ +# Writing snippets +# ================ + +# .. _Organizing Snippets: snippet-organization.html +# .. _Expanding Snippets: snippet-expansion.html +# .. _Writing Snippets: snippet-development.html +# .. _The YASnippet Menu: snippet-menu.html + +# .. contents:: + +# Snippet development +# =================== + +# Quickly finding snippets +# ------------------------ + +# There are some ways you can quickly find a snippet file: + +# \* ``M-x yas/new-snippet`` + +# Prompts you for a snippet name, then tries to guess a suitable +# directory to store it, prompting you for creation if it does not +# exist. Finally, places you in a new buffer set to ``snippet-mode`` +# so you can write your snippet. + +# \* ``M-x yas/find-snippets`` + +# Lets you find the snippet file in the directory the snippet was +# loaded from (if it exists) like ``find-file-other-window``.

You can set +# the buffer to this mode with ``M-x snippet-mode``. It provides +# reasonably useful syntax highlighting. + +# Two commands are defined in this mode: + +# \* ``M-x yas/load-snippet-buffer`` + +# When editing a snippet, this loads the snippet into the correct +# mode and menu. Bound to ``C-c C-c`` by default while in +# ``snippet-mode``. + +# \* ``M-x yas/tryout-snippet`` + +# When editing a snippet, this opens a new empty buffer, sets it to +# the appropriate major mode and inserts the snippet there, so you +# can see what it looks like. This is bound to ``C-c C-t`` while in +# ``snippet-mode``. + +# There are also *snippets for writing snippets*: ``vars``, ``$f`` and +# ``$m`` :-). + +# File content +# ============ + +# A file defining a snippet generally contains the template to be +# expanded. + +# Optionally, if the file contains a line of ``# --``, the lines above +# it count as comments, some of which can be *directives* (or meta +# data). Snippet directives look like ``# property: value`` and tweak +# certain snippets properties described below. If no ``# --`` is found, +# the whole file is considered the snippet template. + +# Here's a typical example: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# # contributor: pluskid +# # name: __...__ +# # -- +# __${init}__ + +# Here's a list of currently supported directives: + +# ``# key:`` snippet abbrev +# -------------------------- + +# This is the probably the most important directive, it's the abbreviation you +# type to expand a snippet just before hitting ``yas/trigger-key``. If you don't +# specify this the snippet will not be expandable through the key mechanism. + +# ``# name:`` snippet name +# ------------------------ + +# This is a one-line description of the snippet. It will be displayed in +# the menu. It's a good idea to select a descriptive name for a +# snippet -- especially distinguishable among similar snippets. + +# If you omit this name it will default to the file name the snippet was +# loaded from. + +# ``# condition:`` snippet condition +# ---------------------------------- +# This is a piece of Emacs-lisp code. If a snippet has a condition, then it +# will only be expanded when the condition code evaluate to some non-nil +# value. + +# See also ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` in `Expanding snippets`_ + + +# ``# group:`` snippet menu grouping +# ---------------------------------- + +# When expanding/visiting snippets from the menu-bar menu, snippets for a +# given mode can be grouped into sub-menus . This is useful if one has +# too many snippets for a mode which will make the menu too +# long. + +# The ``# group:`` property only affect menu construction (See `the +# YASnippet menu`_) and the same effect can be achieved by grouping +# snippets into sub-directories and using the ``.yas-make-groups`` +# special file (for this see `Organizing Snippets`_ + + +# Refer to the bundled snippets for ``ruby-mode`` for examples on the +# ``# group:`` directive. Group can also be nested, e.g. ``control +# structure.loops`` tells that the snippet is under the ``loops`` group +# which is under the ``control structure`` group. + +# ``# expand-env:`` expand environment +# ------------------------------------ + +# This is another piece of Emacs-lisp code in the form of a ``let`` +# \*varlist form*, i.e. a list of lists assigning values to variables. It +# can be used to override variable values while the snippet is being +# expanded. + +# Interesting variables to override are ``yas/wrap-around-region`` and +# ``yas/indent-line`` (see `Expanding Snippets`_). + +# As an example, you might normally have ``yas/indent-line`` set to +# ``'auto`` and ``yas/wrap-around-region`` set to ``t``, but for this +# particularly brilliant piece of ASCII art these values would mess up +# your hard work. You can then use: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# # name: ASCII home +# # expand-env: ((yas/indent-line 'fixed) (yas/wrap-around-region 'nil)) +# # -- +# welcome to my +# X humble +# / \ home, +# / \ $0 +# / \ +# /-------\ +# | | +# | +-+ | +# | | | | +# +--+-+--+ + +# ``# binding:`` direct keybinding +# --------------------------------- + +# You can use this directive to expand a snippet directly from a normal +# Emacs keybinding. The keybinding will be registered in the Emacs +# keymap named after the major mode the snippet is active +# for. + +# Additionally a variable ``yas/prefix`` is set to to the prefix +# argument you normally use for a command. This allows for small +# variations on the same snippet, for example in this "html-mode" +# snippet. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# # name:

...

+# # binding: C-c C-c C-m +# # -- +#

`(when yas/prefix "\n")`$0`(when yas/prefix "\n")`

+ +# This binding will be recorded in the keymap +# ``html-mode-map``. To expand a paragraph tag newlines, just +# press ``C-u C-c C-c C-m``. Omitting the ``C-u`` will expand the +# paragraph tag without newlines. + +# ``# contributor:`` snippet author +# --------------------------------------------------- + +# This is optional and has no effect whatsoever on snippet +# functionality, but it looks nice. + +# Template syntax +# =============== + +# The syntax of the snippet template is simple but powerful, very +# similar to TextMate's. + +# Plain Text +# ---------- + +# Arbitrary text can be included as the content of a template. They are +# usually interpreted as plain text, except ``$`` and `````. You need to +# use ``\`` to escape them: ``\$`` and ``\```. The ``\`` itself may also +# needed to be escaped as ``\\`` sometimes. + +# Embedded Emacs-lisp code +# ------------------------ + +# Emacs-Lisp code can be embedded inside the template, written inside +# back-quotes (`````). The lisp forms are evaluated when the snippet is +# being expanded. The evaluation is done in the same buffer as the +# snippet being expanded. + +# Here's an example for ``c-mode`` to calculate the header file guard +# dynamically: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# #ifndef ${1:_`(upcase (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name))))`_H_} +# #define $1 + +# $0 + +# #endif /* $1 */ + +# From version 0.6, snippets expansions are run with some special +# Emacs-lisp variables bound. One of this is ``yas/selected-text``. You +# can therefore define a snippet like: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# for ($1;$2;$3) { +# `yas/selected-text`$0 +# } + +# to "wrap" the selected region inside your recently inserted +# snippet. Alternatively, you can also customize the variable +# ``yas/wrap-around-region`` to ``t`` which will do this automatically. + +# Tab stop fields +# --------------- + +# Tab stops are fields that you can navigate back and forth by ``TAB`` +# and ``S-TAB``. They are written by ``$`` followed with a +# number. ``$0`` has the special meaning of the *exit point* of a +# snippet. That is the last place to go when you've traveled all the +# fields. Here's a typical example: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# +# $0 +# + +# Placeholder fields +# ------------------ + +# Tab stops can have default values -- a.k.a placeholders. The syntax is +# like this: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# ${N:default value} + +# They acts as the default value for a tab stop. But when you firstly +# type at a tab stop, the default value will be replaced by your +# typing. The number can be omitted if you don't want to create +# `mirrors`_ or `transformations`_ for this field. + +# .. _mirrors: + +# Mirrors +# ------- + +# We refer the tab stops with placeholders as a *field*. A field can have +# mirrors. Its mirrors will get updated when you change the text of a +# field. Here's an example: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# \begin{${1:enumerate}} +# $0 +# \end{$1} + +# When you type ``"document"`` at ``${1:enumerate}``, the word +# ``"document"`` will also be inserted at ``\end{$1}``. The best +# explanation is to see the screencast(`YouTube +# `_ or `avi video +# `_). + +# The tab stops with the same number to the field act as its mirrors. If +# none of the tab stops has an initial value, the first one is selected +# as the field and others mirrors. + +# .. _transformations: + +# Mirrors with transformations +# ---------------------------- + +# If the value of an ``${n:``-construct starts with and contains ``$(``, +# then it is interpreted as a mirror for field ``n`` with a +# transformation. The mirror's text content is calculated according to +# this transformation, which is Emacs-lisp code that gets evaluated in +# an environment where the variable ``text`` (or ``yas/text``) is bound +# to the text content (string) contained in the field ``n``.Here's an +# example for Objective-C: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# - (${1:id})${2:foo} +# { +# return $2; +# } + +# - (void)set${2:$(capitalize text)}:($1)aValue +# { +# [$2 autorelease]; +# $2 = [aValue retain]; +# } +# $0 + +# Look at ``${2:$(capitalize text)}``, it is a mirror with +# transformation instead of a field. The actual field is at the first +# line: ``${2:foo}``. When you type text in ``${2:foo}``, the +# transformation will be evaluated and the result will be placed there +# as the transformed text. So in this example, if you type "baz" in the +# field, the transformed text will be "Baz". This example is also +# available in the screencast. + +# Another example is for ``rst-mode``. In reStructuredText, the document +# title can be some text surrounded by "===" below and above. The "===" +# should be at least as long as the text. So + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# ===== +# Title +# ===== + +# is a valid title but + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# === +# Title +# === + +# is not. Here's an snippet for rst title: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)} +# ${1:Title} +# ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)} + +# $0 + +# Fields with transformations +# --------------------------- + +# From version 0.6 on, you can also have lisp transformation inside +# fields. These work mostly mirror transformations but are evaluated +# when you first enter the field, after each change you make to the +# field and also just before you exit the field. + +# The syntax is also a tiny bit different, so that the parser can +# distinguish between fields and mirrors. In the following example + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# #define "${1:mydefine$(upcase yas/text)}" + +# ``mydefine`` gets automatically upcased to ``MYDEFINE`` once you enter +# the field. As you type text, it gets filtered through the +# transformation every time. + +# Note that to tell this kind of expression from a mirror with a +# transformation, YASnippet needs extra text between the ``:`` and the +# transformation's ``$``. If you don't want this extra-text, you can use +# two ``$``'s instead. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# #define "${1:$$(upcase yas/text)}" + +# Please note that as soon as a transformation takes place, it changes +# the value of the field and sets it its internal modification state to +# ``true``. As a consequence, the auto-deletion behaviour of normal +# fields does not take place. This is by design. + +# Choosing fields value from a list and other tricks +# -------------------------------------------------- + +# As mentioned, the field transformation is invoked just after you enter +# the field, and with some useful variables bound, notably +# ``yas/modified-p`` and ``yas/moving-away-p``. Because of this +# feature you can place a transformation in the primary field that lets +# you select default values for it. + +# The ``yas/choose-value`` does this work for you. For example: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +#
+# $0 +#
+ +# See the definition of ``yas/choose-value`` to see how it was written +# using the two variables. + +# Here's another use, for LaTeX-mode, which calls reftex-label just as +# you enter snippet field 2. This one makes use of ``yas/modified-p`` +# directly. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# \section{${1:"Titel der Tour"}}% +# \index{$1}% +# \label{{2:"waiting for reftex-label call..."$(unless yas/modified-p (reftex-label nil 'dont- +# insert))}}% + +# The function ``yas/verify-value`` has another neat trick, and makes +# use of ``yas/moving-away-p``. Try it and see! Also, check out this +# `thread +# `_ + +# Nested placeholder fields +# ------------------------- + +# From version 0.6 on, you can also have nested placeholders of the type: + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# $0 + +# This allows you to choose if you want to give this ``div`` an ``id`` +# attribute. If you tab forward after expanding it will let you change +# "some_id" to whatever you like. Alternatively, you can just press +# ``C-d`` (which executes ``yas/skip-and-clear-or-delete-char``) and go +# straight to the exit marker. + +# By the way, ``C-d`` will only clear the field if you cursor is at the +# beginning of the field *and* it hasn't been changed yet. Otherwise, it +# performs the normal Emacs ``delete-char`` command. + +# Customizable variables +# ====================== + +# ``yas/trigger-key`` +# ------------------- + +# The key bound to ``yas/expand`` when function ``yas/minor-mode`` is +# active. + +# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key +# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. + +# Default value is ``"TAB"``. + +# ``yas/next-field-key`` +# ---------------------- + +# The key to navigate to next field when a snippet is active. + +# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key +# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. + +# Can also be a list of keys. + +# Default value is ``"TAB"``. + +# ``yas/prev-field-key`` +# ---------------------- + +# The key to navigate to previous field when a snippet is active. + +# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key +# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. + +# Can also be a list of keys. + +# Default value is ``("" ")"``. + +# ``yas/skip-and-clear-key`` +# -------------------------- + +# The key to clear the currently active field. + +# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key +# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. + +# Can also be a list of keys. + +# Default value is ``"C-d"``. + +# ``yas/good-grace`` +# ------------------ + +# If non-nil, don't raise errors in inline Emacs-lisp evaluation inside +# snippet definitions. An error string "[yas] error" is returned instead. + +# ``yas/indent-line`` +# ------------------- + +# The variable ``yas/indent-line`` controls the indenting. It is bound +# to ``'auto`` by default, which causes your snippet to be indented +# according to the mode of the buffer it was inserted in. + +# Another variable ``yas/also-auto-indent-first-line``, when non-nil +# does exactly that :-). + +# To use the hard-coded indentation in your snippet template, set this +# variable to ``fixed``. + +# To control indentation on a per-snippet basis, see also the directive +# ``# expand-env:`` in `Writing Snippets`_. + +# For backward compatibility with earlier versions of YASnippet, you can +# also place a ``$>`` in your snippet, an ``(indent-according-to-mode)`` +# will be executed there to indent the line. This only takes effect when +# ``yas/indent-line`` is set to something other than ``'auto``. + +# .. sourcecode:: text + +# for (${int i = 0}; ${i < 10}; ${++i}) +# {$> +# $0$> +# }$> + +# ``yas/wrap-around-region`` +# -------------------------- + +# If non-nil, YASnippet will try to expand the snippet's exit marker +# around the currently selected region. When this variable is set to t, +# this has the same effect has using the ```yas/selected-text``` inline +# evaluation. + +# Because on most systems starting to type deletes the currently +# selected region, this works mostly for snippets with direct +# keybindings or with the ``yas/insert-snippet`` command. + +# However, when the value is of this variable is ``cua`` YASnippet will +# additionally look-up any recently selected that you deleted by starting +# typing. This allows you select a region, type a snippet key (deleting +# the region), then press ``yas/trigger-key`` to see the deleted region +# spring back to life inside your new snippet. + +# ``yas/triggers-in-field`` +# -------------------------- + +# If non-nil, ``yas/next-field-key`` can trigger stacked expansions, +# that is a snippet expansion inside another snippet +# expansion. Otherwise, ``yas/next-field-key`` just tries to move on to +# the next field. + +# ``yas/snippet-revival`` +# ----------------------- + +# Non-nil means re-activate snippet fields after undo/redo. + +# ``yas/after-exit-snippet-hook`` and ``yas/before-expand-snippet-hook`` +# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +# These hooks are called, respectively, before the insertion of a +# snippet and after exiting the snippet.

Please +# don't add a newline at the end if you don't want it when you saving +# the snippet file. + +# Note some editors will automatically add a newline for you. In Emacs, +# if you set ``require-final-newline`` to ``t``, it will add the final +# newline for you automatically. + +# Why doesn't TAB expand a snippet? +# ================================= + +# First check the mode line to see if there's ``yas``. If not, then try +# ``M-x yas/minor-mode`` to manually turn on the minor mode and try to +# expand the snippet again. If it works, then, you can add the following +# code to your ``.emacs`` *before* loading YASnippet: + +# .. sourcecode:: lisp + +# (add-hook 'the-major-mode-hook 'yas/minor-mode-on) + +# where ``the-major-mode`` is the major mode in which ``yas/minor-mode`` +# isn't enabled by default. + +# From YASnippet 0.6 you can also use the command ``M-x +# yas/global-mode`` to turn on YASnippet automatically for *all* major +# modes. + +# If ``yas/minor-mode`` is on but the snippet still not expanded. Then +# try to see what command is bound to the ``TAB`` key: press ``C-h k`` +# and then press ``TAB``. Emacs will show you the result. + +# You'll see a buffer prompted by Emacs saying that ``TAB runs the +# command ...``. Alternatively, you might see `` runs the command +# ...``, note the difference between ``TAB`` and ```` where the +# latter has priority. If you see ```` bound to a command other +# than ``yas/expand``, (e.g. in ``org-mode``) you can try the following +# code to work around: + +# .. sourcecode:: lisp + +# (add-hook 'org-mode-hook +# (let ((original-command (lookup-key org-mode-map [tab]))) +# `(lambda () +# (setq yas/fallback-behavior +# '(apply ,original-command)) +# (local-set-key [tab] 'yas/expand)))) + +# replace ``org-mode-hook`` and ``org-mode-map`` with the major mode +# hook you are dealing with (Use ``C-h m`` to see what major mode you +# are in). + +# As an alternative, you can also try + +# .. sourcecode:: lisp + +# (defun yas/advise-indent-function (function-symbol) +# (eval `(defadvice ,function-symbol (around yas/try-expand-first activate) +# ,(format +# "Try to expand a snippet before point, then call `%s' as usual" +# function-symbol) +# (let ((yas/fallback-behavior nil)) +# (unless (and (interactive-p) +# (yas/expand)) +# ad-do-it))))) + +# (yas/advise-indent-function 'ruby-indent-line) + +# To *advise* the modes indentation function bound to TAB, (in this case +# ``ruby-indent-line``) to first try to run ``yas/expand``. + +# If the output of ``C-h k RET `` tells you that ```` is +# indeed bound to ``yas/expand`` but YASnippet still doesn't work, check +# your configuration and you may also ask for help on the `discussion +# group `_.

If you know +# emacs-lisp and can solve this problem, drop a line in the `discussion +# group`_. + +# How do I turn off the minor mode where in some buffers +# ====================================================== + +# The best way, since version 0.6.1c, is to set the default value of the +# variable ``yas/dont-activate`` to a lambda function like so: + +# .. sourcecode:: lisp + +# (set-default 'yas/dont-activate +# #'(lambda () +# (and yas/root-directory +# (null (yas/get-snippet-tables))))) + +# This is also the default value starting for that version.

The - directory searching logic is similar to ``M-x yas/new-snippet``. - -* ``M-x yas/visit-snippet-file`` - - Prompts you for possible snippet expansions like - ``yas/insert-snippet``, but instead of expanding it, takes you - directly to the snippet definition's file, if it exists. - -Once you find this file it will be set to ``snippet-mode`` (see ahead) -and you can start editing your snippet. - - -Using the ``snippet-mode`` major mode -------------------------------------- - -There is a major mode ``snippet-mode`` to edit snippets. You can set -the buffer to this mode with ``M-x snippet-mode``. It provides -reasonably useful syntax highlighting. - -Two commands are defined in this mode: - -* ``M-x yas/load-snippet-buffer`` - - When editing a snippet, this loads the snippet into the correct - mode and menu. Bound to ``C-c C-c`` by default while in - ``snippet-mode``. - -* ``M-x yas/tryout-snippet`` - - When editing a snippet, this opens a new empty buffer, sets it to - the appropriate major mode and inserts the snippet there, so you - can see what it looks like. This is bound to ``C-c C-t`` while in - ``snippet-mode``. - -There are also *snippets for writing snippets*: ``vars``, ``$f`` and -``$m`` :-). - -File content -============ - -A file defining a snippet generally contains the template to be -expanded. - -Optionally, if the file contains a line of ``# --``, the lines above -it count as comments, some of which can be *directives* (or meta -data). Snippet directives look like ``# property: value`` and tweak -certain snippets properties described below. If no ``# --`` is found, -the whole file is considered the snippet template. - -Here's a typical example: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - # contributor: pluskid - # name: __...__ - # -- - __${init}__ - -Here's a list of currently supported directives: - -``# key:`` snippet abbrev --------------------------- - -This is the probably the most important directive, it's the abbreviation you -type to expand a snippet just before hitting ``yas/trigger-key``. If you don't -specify this the snippet will not be expandable through the key mechanism. - -``# name:`` snippet name ------------------------- - -This is a one-line description of the snippet. It will be displayed in -the menu. It's a good idea to select a descriptive name for a -snippet -- especially distinguishable among similar snippets. - -If you omit this name it will default to the file name the snippet was -loaded from. - -``# condition:`` snippet condition ----------------------------------- -This is a piece of Emacs-lisp code. If a snippet has a condition, then it -will only be expanded when the condition code evaluate to some non-nil -value. - -See also ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` in `Expanding snippets`_ - - -``# group:`` snippet menu grouping ----------------------------------- - -When expanding/visiting snippets from the menu-bar menu, snippets for a -given mode can be grouped into sub-menus . This is useful if one has -too many snippets for a mode which will make the menu too -long. - -The ``# group:`` property only affect menu construction (See `the -YASnippet menu`_) and the same effect can be achieved by grouping -snippets into sub-directories and using the ``.yas-make-groups`` -special file (for this see `Organizing Snippets`_ - - -Refer to the bundled snippets for ``ruby-mode`` for examples on the -``# group:`` directive. Group can also be nested, e.g. ``control -structure.loops`` tells that the snippet is under the ``loops`` group -which is under the ``control structure`` group. - -``# expand-env:`` expand environment ------------------------------------- - -This is another piece of Emacs-lisp code in the form of a ``let`` -*varlist form*, i.e. a list of lists assigning values to variables. It -can be used to override variable values while the snippet is being -expanded. - -Interesting variables to override are ``yas/wrap-around-region`` and -``yas/indent-line`` (see `Expanding Snippets`_). - -As an example, you might normally have ``yas/indent-line`` set to -``'auto`` and ``yas/wrap-around-region`` set to ``t``, but for this -particularly brilliant piece of ASCII art these values would mess up -your hard work. You can then use: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - # name: ASCII home - # expand-env: ((yas/indent-line 'fixed) (yas/wrap-around-region 'nil)) - # -- - welcome to my - X humble - / \ home, - / \ $0 - / \ - /-------\ - | | - | +-+ | - | | | | - +--+-+--+ - -``# binding:`` direct keybinding ---------------------------------- - -You can use this directive to expand a snippet directly from a normal -Emacs keybinding. The keybinding will be registered in the Emacs -keymap named after the major mode the snippet is active -for. - -Additionally a variable ``yas/prefix`` is set to to the prefix -argument you normally use for a command. This allows for small -variations on the same snippet, for example in this "html-mode" -snippet. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - # name:

...

- # binding: C-c C-c C-m - # -- -

`(when yas/prefix "\n")`$0`(when yas/prefix "\n")`

- -This binding will be recorded in the keymap -``html-mode-map``. To expand a paragraph tag newlines, just -press ``C-u C-c C-c C-m``. Omitting the ``C-u`` will expand the -paragraph tag without newlines. - -``# contributor:`` snippet author ---------------------------------------------------- - -This is optional and has no effect whatsoever on snippet -functionality, but it looks nice. - -Template syntax -=============== - -The syntax of the snippet template is simple but powerful, very -similar to TextMate's. - -Plain Text ----------- - -Arbitrary text can be included as the content of a template. They are -usually interpreted as plain text, except ``$`` and `````. You need to -use ``\`` to escape them: ``\$`` and ``\```. The ``\`` itself may also -needed to be escaped as ``\\`` sometimes. - -Embedded Emacs-lisp code ------------------------- - -Emacs-Lisp code can be embedded inside the template, written inside -back-quotes (`````). The lisp forms are evaluated when the snippet is -being expanded. The evaluation is done in the same buffer as the -snippet being expanded. - -Here's an example for ``c-mode`` to calculate the header file guard -dynamically: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - #ifndef ${1:_`(upcase (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name))))`_H_} - #define $1 - - $0 - - #endif /* $1 */ - -From version 0.6, snippets expansions are run with some special -Emacs-lisp variables bound. One of this is ``yas/selected-text``. You -can therefore define a snippet like: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - for ($1;$2;$3) { - `yas/selected-text`$0 - } - -to "wrap" the selected region inside your recently inserted -snippet. Alternatively, you can also customize the variable -``yas/wrap-around-region`` to ``t`` which will do this automatically. - -Tab stop fields ---------------- - -Tab stops are fields that you can navigate back and forth by ``TAB`` -and ``S-TAB``. They are written by ``$`` followed with a -number. ``$0`` has the special meaning of the *exit point* of a -snippet. That is the last place to go when you've traveled all the -fields. Here's a typical example: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - - $0 - - -Placeholder fields ------------------- - -Tab stops can have default values -- a.k.a placeholders. The syntax is -like this: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - ${N:default value} - -They acts as the default value for a tab stop. But when you firstly -type at a tab stop, the default value will be replaced by your -typing. The number can be omitted if you don't want to create -`mirrors`_ or `transformations`_ for this field. - -.. _mirrors: - -Mirrors -------- - -We refer the tab stops with placeholders as a *field*. A field can have -mirrors. Its mirrors will get updated when you change the text of a -field. Here's an example: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - \begin{${1:enumerate}} - $0 - \end{$1} - -When you type ``"document"`` at ``${1:enumerate}``, the word -``"document"`` will also be inserted at ``\end{$1}``. The best -explanation is to see the screencast(`YouTube -`_ or `avi video -`_). - -The tab stops with the same number to the field act as its mirrors. If -none of the tab stops has an initial value, the first one is selected -as the field and others mirrors. - -.. _transformations: - -Mirrors with transformations ----------------------------- - -If the value of an ``${n:``-construct starts with and contains ``$(``, -then it is interpreted as a mirror for field ``n`` with a -transformation. The mirror's text content is calculated according to -this transformation, which is Emacs-lisp code that gets evaluated in -an environment where the variable ``text`` (or ``yas/text``) is bound -to the text content (string) contained in the field ``n``.Here's an -example for Objective-C: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - - (${1:id})${2:foo} - { - return $2; - } - - - (void)set${2:$(capitalize text)}:($1)aValue - { - [$2 autorelease]; - $2 = [aValue retain]; - } - $0 - -Look at ``${2:$(capitalize text)}``, it is a mirror with -transformation instead of a field. The actual field is at the first -line: ``${2:foo}``. When you type text in ``${2:foo}``, the -transformation will be evaluated and the result will be placed there -as the transformed text. So in this example, if you type "baz" in the -field, the transformed text will be "Baz". This example is also -available in the screencast. - -Another example is for ``rst-mode``. In reStructuredText, the document -title can be some text surrounded by "===" below and above. The "===" -should be at least as long as the text. So - -.. sourcecode:: text - - ===== - Title - ===== - -is a valid title but - -.. sourcecode:: text - - === - Title - === - -is not. Here's an snippet for rst title: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)} - ${1:Title} - ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)} - - $0 - -Fields with transformations ---------------------------- - -From version 0.6 on, you can also have lisp transformation inside -fields. These work mostly mirror transformations but are evaluated -when you first enter the field, after each change you make to the -field and also just before you exit the field. - -The syntax is also a tiny bit different, so that the parser can -distinguish between fields and mirrors. In the following example - -.. sourcecode:: text - - #define "${1:mydefine$(upcase yas/text)}" - -``mydefine`` gets automatically upcased to ``MYDEFINE`` once you enter -the field. As you type text, it gets filtered through the -transformation every time. - -Note that to tell this kind of expression from a mirror with a -transformation, YASnippet needs extra text between the ``:`` and the -transformation's ``$``. If you don't want this extra-text, you can use -two ``$``'s instead. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - #define "${1:$$(upcase yas/text)}" - -Please note that as soon as a transformation takes place, it changes -the value of the field and sets it its internal modification state to -``true``. As a consequence, the auto-deletion behaviour of normal -fields does not take place. This is by design. - -Choosing fields value from a list and other tricks --------------------------------------------------- - -As mentioned, the field transformation is invoked just after you enter -the field, and with some useful variables bound, notably -``yas/modified-p`` and ``yas/moving-away-p``. Because of this -feature you can place a transformation in the primary field that lets -you select default values for it. - -The ``yas/choose-value`` does this work for you. For example: - -.. sourcecode:: text - -
- $0 -
- -See the definition of ``yas/choose-value`` to see how it was written -using the two variables. - -Here's another use, for LaTeX-mode, which calls reftex-label just as -you enter snippet field 2. This one makes use of ``yas/modified-p`` -directly. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - \section{${1:"Titel der Tour"}}% - \index{$1}% - \label{{2:"waiting for reftex-label call..."$(unless yas/modified-p (reftex-label nil 'dont- - insert))}}% - -The function ``yas/verify-value`` has another neat trick, and makes -use of ``yas/moving-away-p``. Try it and see! Also, check out this -`thread -`_ - -Nested placeholder fields -------------------------- - -From version 0.6 on, you can also have nested placeholders of the type: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - $0 - -This allows you to choose if you want to give this ``div`` an ``id`` -attribute. If you tab forward after expanding it will let you change -"some_id" to whatever you like. Alternatively, you can just press -``C-d`` (which executes ``yas/skip-and-clear-or-delete-char``) and go -straight to the exit marker. - -By the way, ``C-d`` will only clear the field if you cursor is at the -beginning of the field *and* it hasn't been changed yet. Otherwise, it -performs the normal Emacs ``delete-char`` command. - -Customizable variables -====================== - -``yas/trigger-key`` -------------------- - -The key bound to ``yas/expand`` when function ``yas/minor-mode`` is -active. - -Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key -representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. - -Default value is ``"TAB"``. - -``yas/next-field-key`` ----------------------- - -The key to navigate to next field when a snippet is active. - -Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key -representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. - -Can also be a list of keys. - -Default value is ``"TAB"``. - -``yas/prev-field-key`` ----------------------- - -The key to navigate to previous field when a snippet is active. - -Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key -representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. - -Can also be a list of keys. - -Default value is ``("" ")"``. - -``yas/skip-and-clear-key`` --------------------------- - -The key to clear the currently active field. - -Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key -representation using ``read-kbd-macro``. - -Can also be a list of keys. - -Default value is ``"C-d"``. - -``yas/good-grace`` ------------------- - -If non-nil, don't raise errors in inline Emacs-lisp evaluation inside -snippet definitions. An error string "[yas] error" is returned instead. - -``yas/indent-line`` -------------------- - -The variable ``yas/indent-line`` controls the indenting. It is bound -to ``'auto`` by default, which causes your snippet to be indented -according to the mode of the buffer it was inserted in. - -Another variable ``yas/also-auto-indent-first-line``, when non-nil -does exactly that :-). - -To use the hard-coded indentation in your snippet template, set this -variable to ``fixed``. - -To control indentation on a per-snippet basis, see also the directive -``# expand-env:`` in `Writing Snippets`_. - -For backward compatibility with earlier versions of YASnippet, you can -also place a ``$>`` in your snippet, an ``(indent-according-to-mode)`` -will be executed there to indent the line. This only takes effect when -``yas/indent-line`` is set to something other than ``'auto``. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - for (${int i = 0}; ${i < 10}; ${++i}) - {$> - $0$> - }$> - -``yas/wrap-around-region`` --------------------------- - -If non-nil, YASnippet will try to expand the snippet's exit marker -around the currently selected region. When this variable is set to t, -this has the same effect has using the ```yas/selected-text``` inline -evaluation. - -Because on most systems starting to type deletes the currently -selected region, this works mostly for snippets with direct -keybindings or with the ``yas/insert-snippet`` command. - -However, when the value is of this variable is ``cua`` YASnippet will -additionally look-up any recently selected that you deleted by starting -typing. This allows you select a region, type a snippet key (deleting -the region), then press ``yas/trigger-key`` to see the deleted region -spring back to life inside your new snippet. - -``yas/triggers-in-field`` --------------------------- - -If non-nil, ``yas/next-field-key`` can trigger stacked expansions, -that is a snippet expansion inside another snippet -expansion. Otherwise, ``yas/next-field-key`` just tries to move on to -the next field. - -``yas/snippet-revival`` ------------------------ - -Non-nil means re-activate snippet fields after undo/redo. - -``yas/after-exit-snippet-hook`` and ``yas/before-expand-snippet-hook`` ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - -These hooks are called, respectively, before the insertion of a -snippet and after exiting the snippet. If you find any strange but -functional use for them, that's probably a design flaw in YASnippet, -so let us know. - -Importing TextMate snippets -=========================== - -There are a couple of tools that take TextMate's ".tmSnippet" xml -files and create YASnippet definitions: - - * `a python script by Jeff Wheeler - `_ - - * a `ruby tool - `_ - , ``textmate_import.rb`` adapted from `Rob Christie's - `_, - which I have uploaded to the repository. - -In this section, i'll shortly cover the **second** option. - -Download the ``textmate_import.rb`` tool and the TextMate -bundle you're interested in. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - $ curl -O http://yasnippet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extras/textmate_import.rb - $ svn export http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/HTML.tmbundle/ - - -Then invoke ``textmate_import.rb`` like this: - -.. sourcecode:: text - - $ ./textmate_import.rb -d HTML.tmbundle/Snippets/ -o html-mode -g HTML.tmbundle/info.plist - -You should end up with a ``html-mode`` subdir containing snippets -exported from textmate. - -.. sourcecode:: text - - $ tree html-mode # to view dir contents, if you have 'tree' installed - -The ``-g`` is optional but helps the tool figure out the grouping. -According to `Organizing Snippets`_, don't forget to touch -``.yas-make-groups`` and ``.yas-ignore-filename-triggers`` inside the -``html-mode`` dir. - -Also try ``textmate_import.rb --help`` for a list of options. - -Please note that snippet importation is not yet perfect.

See the `FAQ `_. - -Fallback bahaviour -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -``yas/fallback-behaviour`` is a customization variable bound to -``'call-other-command`` by default. If ``yas/expand`` failed to find -any suitable snippet to expand, it will disable the minor mode -temporarily and find if there's any other command bound the -``yas/trigger-key``. - -If found, the command will be called. Usually this works very well -- -when there's a snippet, expand it, otherwise, call whatever command -originally bind to the trigger key. - -However, you can change this behavior by customizing the -``yas/fallback-behavior`` variable. If you set this variable to -``'return-nil``, it will return ``nil`` instead of trying to call the -*original* command when no snippet is found. - -Insert at point ---------------- - -The command ``M-x yas/insert-snippet`` lets you insert snippets at -point *for you current major mode*.

You should call ``yas/expand-snippet`` instead of -``yas/expand`` in this case. - -As with expanding from the menubar, the condition system and multiple -candidates doesn't affect expansion. In fact, expanding from the -YASnippet menu has the same effect of evaluating the follow code: - -.. sourcecode:: common-lisp - - (yas/expand-snippet template) - -See the internal documentation on ``yas/expand-snippet`` for more -information. - -Controlling expansion -===================== - -Eligible snippets ------------------ - -YASnippet does quite a bit of filtering to find out which snippets are -eligible for expanding at the current cursor position. - -In particular, the following things matter: - -* Currently loaded snippets tables - - These are loaded from a directory hierarchy in your file system. See - `Organizing Snippets`_. They are named after major modes like - ``html-mode``, ``ruby-mode``, etc... - -* Major mode of the current buffer - - If the currrent major mode matches one of the loaded snippet tables, - then all that table's snippets are considered for expansion. Use - ``M-x describe-variable RET major-mode RET`` to find out which major - mode you are in currently. - -* Parent tables - - Snippet tables defined as the parent of some other eligible table - are also considered. This works recursively, i.e. parents of parents - of eligible tables are also considered. - -* Buffer-local ``yas/mode-symbol`` variable - - This can be used to consider snippet tables whose name does not - correspond to a major mode. If you set this variable to a name , - like ``rinari-minor-mode``, you can have some snippets expand only - in that minor mode. Naturally, you want to set this conditionally, - i.e. only when entering that minor mode, so using a hook is a good - idea. - -.. sourcecode:: common-lisp - - ;; When entering rinari-minor-mode, consider also the snippets in the - ;; snippet table "rails-mode" - (add-hook 'rinari-minor-mode-hook - #'(lambda () - (setq yas/mode-symbol 'rails-mode))) - -* Buffer-local ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` variable - - This variable provides finer grained control over what snippets can - be expanded in the current buffer. The default value won't let you - expand snippets inside comments or string literals for example. See - `The condition system`_ for more info. - -The condition system --------------------- - -Consider this scenario: you are an old Emacs hacker. You like the -abbrev-way and set ``yas/trigger-key`` to ``"SPC"``. However, -you don't want ``if`` to be expanded as a snippet when you are typing -in a comment block or a string (e.g. in ``python-mode``). - -If you use the ``# condition :`` directive (see `Writing Snippets`_) -you could just specify the condition for ``if`` to be ``(not -(python-in-string/comment))``. But how about ``while``, ``for``, -etc. ? Writing the same condition for all the snippets is just -boring. So has a buffer local variable -``yas/buffer-local-condition``. You can set this variable to ``(not -(python-in-string/comment))`` in ``python-mode-hook``. - -Then, what if you really want some particular snippet to expand even -inside a comment? This is also possible! But let's stop telling the -story and look at the rules: - -* If ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` evaluate to nil, no snippets will - be considered for expansion. - -* If it evaluates to the a *cons cell* where the ``car`` is the symbol - ``require-snippet-condition`` and the ``cdr`` is a symbol (let's - call it ``requirement``), then: - - * Snippets having no ``# condition:`` directive won't be considered; - - * Snippets with conditions that evaluate to nil (or produce an - error) won't be considered; - - * If the snippet has a condition that evaluates to non-nil (let's - call it ``result``): - - * If ``requirement`` is ``t``, the snippet is ready to be - expanded; - - * If ``requirement`` is ``eq`` to ``result``, the snippet is ready - to be expanded; - - * Otherwise the snippet won't be considered. - -* If it evaluates to the symbol ``always``, all snippets are - considered for expansion, regardless of any conditions. - -* If it evaluate to ``t`` or some other non-nil value: - - * If the snippet has no condition, or has a condition that evaluate - to non-nil, it is ready to be expanded. - - * Otherwise, it won't be considered. - -In the mentioned scenario, set ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` like -this - -.. sourcecode:: common-lisp - - (add-hook 'python-mode-hook - '(lambda () - (setq yas/buffer-local-condition - '(if (python-in-string/comment) - '(require-snippet-condition . force-in-comment) - t)))) - -... and specify the condition for a snippet that you're going to -expand in comment to be evaluated to the symbol -``force-in-comment``. Then it can be expanded as you expected, while -other snippets like ``if`` still can't expanded in comment. - -Multiples snippet with the same key ------------------------------------ - -The rules outlined `above `_ can return more than -one snippet to be expanded at point. - -When there are multiple candidates, YASnippet will let you select -one. The UI for selecting multiple candidate can be customized through -``yas/prompt-functions`` , which defines your preferred methods of -being prompted for snippets. - -You can customize it with ``M-x customize-variable RET -yas/prompt-functions RET``.

These functions are called with the following arguments: - -* PROMPT: A string to prompt the user; - -* CHOICES: A list of strings or objects; - -* optional DISPLAY-FN : A function. When applied to each of the - objects in CHOICES it will return a string; - -The return value of any function you put here should be one of -the objects in CHOICES, properly formatted with DISPLAY-FN (if -that is passed). - -* To signal that your particular style of prompting is unavailable at - the moment, you can also have the function return nil. - -* To signal that the user quit the prompting process, you can signal - ``quit`` with ``(signal 'quit "user quit!")`` - -``yas/fallback-behavior`` -------------------------- - -How to act when ``yas/expand`` does *not* expand a snippet. - -``call-other-command`` means try to temporarily disable YASnippet and - call the next command bound to ``yas/trigger-key``. - -``return-nil`` means return nil. (i.e. do nothing) - -An entry (apply COMMAND . ARGS) means interactively call COMMAND, if -ARGS is non-nil, call COMMAND non-interactively with ARGS as -arguments. - -``yas/choose-keys-first`` -------------------------- - -If non-nil, prompt for snippet key first, then for template. - -Otherwise prompts for all possible snippet names. - -This affects ``yas/insert-snippet`` and ``yas/visit-snippet-file``. - -``yas/choose-tables-first`` ---------------------------- - -If non-nil, and multiple eligible snippet tables, prompts user for -tables first. - -Otherwise, user chooses between the merging together of all -eligible tables. - -This affects ``yas/insert-snippet``, ``yas/visit-snippet-file`` - -``yas/key-syntaxes`` --------------------- - -The default searching strategy is quite powerful. For example, in -``c-mode``, ``bar``, ``foo_bar``, ``"#foo_bar"`` can all be recognized -as a snippet key. Furthermore, the searching is in that order. In -other words, if ``bar`` is found to be a key to some *valid* snippet, -then that snippet is expanded and replaces the ``bar``. Snippets -pointed to by ``foo_bar`` and ``"#foobar`` won't be considered. - -However, this strategy can also be customized easily from the -``yas/key-syntaxes`` variable. It is a list of syntax rules, the -default value is ``("w" "w_" "w_." "^ ")``. Which means search the -following thing until found one: - -* a word. -* a symbol. In lisp, ``-`` and ``?`` can all be part of a symbol. -* a sequence of characters of either word, symbol or punctuation. -* a sequence of characters of non-whitespace characters. - -But you'd better keep the default value unless you want to understand -how Emacs's syntax rules work... - - diff --git a/doc/snippet-menu.org b/doc/snippet-menu.org deleted file mode 100644 index a40c5a85a..000000000 --- a/doc/snippet-menu.org +++ /dev/null @@ -1,85 +0,0 @@ -============== -YASnippet menu -============== - -.. contents:: - -When ``yas/minor-mode`` is active, YASnippet will setup a menu just -after the "Buffers" menu in the menubar. - -In this menu, you can find - -* The currently loaded snippet definitions, organized by major mode, - and optional grouping. - -* A rundown of the most common commands, (followed by their - keybindings) including commands to load directories and reload all - snippet definitions. - -* A series of submenus for customizing and exploring YASnippet - behavior. - -.. image:: images/menu-1.png - :align: right - -Loading snippets from menu --------------------------- - -Invoking "Load snippets..." from the menu invokes -``yas/load-directory`` and prompts you for a snippet directory -hierarchy to load. - -Also useful is the "Reload all" options which uncondionally reloads -all the snippets directories defined in ``yas/root-directory`` and -rebuilds the menus. - -Snippet menu behavior ---------------------- - -YASnippet will list in this section all the loaded snippet definitions -organized by snippet table name. - -You can use this section to explore currently loaded snippets.
