Templates plugin howto

Submitted by SimonWaltr on Tuesday, 24 February, 2004 - 22:38

I came to jEdit after finding very few code editors out there written for Mac that are worth their salt. I must say, to this you have the best application available for Mac that I am aware of (non-commercial at the very least).

I am curious about the templates pluggin however. Are there any good howto's to develop new templates?

Also is there a good autocomplete method I should be looking into? Templates vs. macros, et cetera. I am specifically looking for PHP...

As a side note, it would be really handy to have some doc for the templates pluggin... I don't find it intuitive to use (especially since I have yet to figure it out).

Thanks a ton,

try help menu

I know it catches people off guard when a program actually includes *useful* documentation in the help menu, but check it out. Plugin documentation varies in quality, but I found the docs for the template plugin to be quite good. It uses apache's velocity, so their site may help as well.

ha!

Well color me silly. Sometimes the "obvious" isn't. I never would have thought that the plugins would be documented in the same location as jEdit itself. Maybe an option in the "Plugins" dropdown labeled "Plugins Help..." would be useful to curb people like me from asking questions. Eye-wink

Although after reading the doc, I am still have a problem with Templates putting a newline at the end of the template even thought the template doesn't contain one. for example if I have the template (I am including line numbers for clearity):
1 <?php
2 #caret ()
3 ?>
I will get (the cursor on line 3):
1 <?php
2
3 ?>
4

Any thoughts on getting rid of that trailing new line? Thanks

This seems to work:

<?php #caret() ?>
