This module adds file templates for blank files, powered by yasnippet.
This module provides no flags.
This module installs no plugins.
This module has no prerequisites.
File templates are automatically expanded when opening empty files.
They are also regular yasnippet snippets, which can be expanded by typing their
trigger and pressing TAB. By convention, the triggers for file templates are
prefixed with two underscores __.
A special command is available for inserting software licenses: M-x
+file-templates/insert-license.
Licenses with a
-bpsuffix are boilerplate templates; shorter versions meant for comment headers in code.
Look into the documentation of set-file-template! and set-file-templates!.
Simply register a new template (using set-file-template!) that matches the same
file. The new template would be pushed to the top of +file-template-alist and
thus would take priority while searching for a template to insert.
The +file-templates/insert-license command searches for snippets under
text-mode that are named __license-ABC, where ABC is the short name of the
license. e.g. __license-mit.
So long as these files exist, +file-templates/insert-license will recognize
them.
If a file template isn’t expanding where you expect it to, run M-x
+file-templates/debug. This will report to you what file template rule would
apply for the correct file.
