| |
| |
| |
| <div><p>XML content assist provides a comment template, a chunk of predefined |
| code that you can insert into a file. You can use the default template as |
| provided, customize that template, or create your own templates.</p> |
| |
| <div class="section"> <p>For example, you may work on a group of XML 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 <span class="uicontrol">Pattern</span> field.) Then select |
| the name of the template from a content assist proposal list whenever you |
| want to insert your custom table into an XML file.</p> |
| <p>To add a new XML |
| template, complete the following steps: </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>From the <span class="uicontrol">Window</span> menu, select <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span>.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Preferences page, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Web and |
| XML</span> > <span class="uicontrol">XML Files</span> > <span class="uicontrol">XML Templates</span> |
| </span>.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">New</span>. </span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Enter the new template name (a text string) and a brief description |
| of the template.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Using the <span class="uicontrol">Context</span> drop-down list, specify |
| the context in which the template is available in the proposal list when content |
| assist is requested.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Pattern</span> field, enter the appropriate |
| tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be |
| inserted by content assist.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>If you want to insert a variable, click the <span class="uicontrol">Variable</span> button |
| and select the variable to be inserted.</span> For example, the <var class="varname">word_selection</var> variable |
| indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, |
| and the <var class="varname">cursor</var> variable determines where the cursor will |
| be after the template is inserted in the XML document.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to save the new template.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| <div class="section"><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> |
