<title>Adding and removing JSP templates</title> | |
<shortdesc>JSP content assist provides several templates, or chunks of predefined | |
code, that you can insert into a file. You can use the default templates as | |
provided, customize the default templates, or create your own templates.</shortdesc> | |

<context> <p>For example, you may work on a group of JSP pages that should | |
all contain a table with a specific appearance. Create a template that contains | |
the tags for that table, including the appropriate attributes and attribute | |
values for each tag. (You can copy and paste the tags from a structured text | |
editor into the template's <uicontrol>Pattern</uicontrol> field.) Then select | |
the name of the template from a content assist proposal list whenever you | |
want to insert your custom table into a JSP file.</p><p>To add a new JSP template, | |
complete the following steps:</p> </context> | |
<steps> | |
<step><cmd>From the <uicontrol>Window</uicontrol> menu, select <uicontrol>Preferences</uicontrol>.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>In the Preferences page, select <menucascade><uicontrol>Web and | |
XML</uicontrol><uicontrol>JSP Files</uicontrol><uicontrol>JSP Templates</uicontrol> | |
</menucascade>.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>New</uicontrol>. </cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>Enter the new template name (a text string) and a brief description | |
of the template.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>Using the <uicontrol>Context</uicontrol> drop-down list, specify | |
the context in which the template is available in the proposal list when content | |
assist is requested.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>Pattern</uicontrol> field, enter the appropriate | |
tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be | |
inserted by content assist.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>If you want to insert a variable, click the <uicontrol>Variable</uicontrol> button | |
and select the variable to be inserted.</cmd><stepxmp>For example, the <varname>word_selection</varname> variable | |
indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, | |
and the <varname>cursor</varname> variable determines where the cursor will | |
be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.</stepxmp></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol> to save the new template.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
</steps> | |
<postreq><p>You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the | |
same Preferences page. If you have modified a default template, you can restore | |
it to its default value. You can also restore a removed template if you have | |
not exited from the workbench since it was removed.</p><p>If you have a template | |
that you do not want to remove but you no longer want the template to appear | |
in the content assist list, go to the Templates preferences page and uncheck | |
its check box.</p></postreq> | |
