Snippet Question

Post by elwood »

I am trying to set up some snippets, but one thing is causing me a problem. I would like to highlight some text and then be able to include that text in the snippet I am trying to insert. For instance, if I have

someone@somewhere.com

in the text, I would like to highlight it, click on the snippet's name and have it end up as

<a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">someone@somewhere.com</a>

Is there a way to do that using the Code Library?

Currently this is not possible. Although I have never ever seen this in any other system, it is an interesting new idea and definitely worth thinking of. So it will be reviewed for inclusion in version 2006.

I have seen editors where snippets could have the location where the cursor ends up after the snippet is inserted specified and snippets that could take parameters that are prompted for when the snippet is added (this type of snippet is getting to be something more like a macro).

These features would be worthy of thought as well - if you can specify parameters, then something highlighted when the snippet is inserted can be assumed to be parameter #1 or something,
