*YASnippet* is a template system for Emacs. It allows you to type an
abbreviation and automatically expand it into function templates. Bundled
language templates includes: C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, SQL, LaTeX, HTML,
CSS and more. The snippet syntax is inspired from TextMate's syntax, you can
even [[#import-textmate][import most TextMate snippets]]

YASnippet is an original creation of [[pluskid]] who also wrote its predecessor
[[smart-snippet]].

* Quick start

** Install the most recent version with git

Clone this repository somewhere

    $ cd ~/.emacs.d/plugins
    $ git clone https://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet

Add the following in your =.emacs= file:

example
    (add-to-list 'load-path
                  "~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet")
    (require 'yasnippet)
    (yas/global-mode 1)

Add your own snippets to `~/.emacs.d/snippets` by placing files there or invoking `yas/new-snippet`.

## Install yasnippet with el-get

El-get is a nice way to get the most recent version, too

** Import textmate snippets (rails example)
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: import-textmate
:END:

Clone the yasnippet repository to `~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet`

    cd ~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet
    git submodule init
    git submodule update
    gem install plist trollop
    rake convert_bundles             # will convert ruby, rails and html bundles from drnic

Then, in your .emacs file

    (add-to-list 'load-path
                  "~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet")
    (require 'yasnippet)
    (setq yas/snippet-dirs '("~/.emacs.d/snippets" "~/.emacs.d/extras/imported"))
    (yas/global-mode 1)

Open some rails file (model, app, etc) and start using the textmate snippets.

** Contributing snippets

Please do not ask me to add snippets to the default collection under
=/snippets=. This is considered frozen and by customizing =yas/snippet-dirs= you
can point yasnippet to good snippet collections out there.

The =extras/textmate-import.rb= tool can import many actual Textmate
snippets. See [[import-textmate]].

I'm focusing on developping =textmate-import.rb= tool and the =yas-setup.el=
files that guide it with more difficult importation. In the future =/snippets=
snippets will be deprecated and replaced with =extras/imported=.

** Documentation, issues, etc

Please refer to the comprehensive [[docs][documentation]] for full customization and
support.  If you think you've found a bug, please report it on [[issues][the GitHub issue
tracker]].  (please **do not** submit new issues to the old [[googlecode-tracker][googlecode tracker]])

If you run into problems using YASnippet, or have snippets to contribute, post
to the [[forum][yasnippet forum]]. Thank you very much for using YASnippet!

* Organizing snippets
** Setting up =yas/snippet-dirs= before calling =yas/global-mode=

Snippet collections are stored in specially organized file hierarchies. These
are loaded by YASnippet into *snippet tables* which the triggering mechanism
(see [[expand-snippets][Expanding snippets]]) looks up and (hopefully) cause the right snippet to be
expanded for you.

An emacs variable =yas/snippet-dirs= tells YASnippet which collections to
consider.

If you don't tweak it the default value of =yas/snippet-dirs= considers:

 - a personal collection that YASnippet decides lives in =~/.emacs.d/snippets=
 - the bundled collection, taken as a relative path to =yasnippet.el= localtion

You might and probably want to try out more snippet collections though:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports both
  ;; Develop in ~/emacs.d/mysnippets, but also
  ;; try out snippets in ~/Downloads/interesting-snippets
  (setq yas/snippet-dirs '("~/emacs.d/mysnippets"
                             "~/Downloads/interesting-snippets"))

  ;; OR, keeping yasnippet's defaults try out ~/Downloads/interesting-snippets
  (setq yas/snippet-dirs (append yas/snippet-dirs
                                 '("~/Downloads/interesting-snippets")))
#+end_src

Collections appearing earlier in the list shadow any conflicting snippets from
collections later in the list. =yas/new-snippet= always stores snippets in the
first collection.

# Snippet definitions are put in plain text files. They are arranged
# by sub-directories, and the snippet tables are named after these
# directories.

# The name corresponds to the Emacs mode where you want expansion to
# take place. For example, snippets for ``c-mode`` are put in the
# ``c-mode`` sub-directory.



# 2. `Expanding Snippets`_

#   Describes how YASnippet chooses snippets for expansion at point.

#   Maybe, you'll want some snippets to be expanded in a particular
#   mode, or only under certain conditions, or be prompted using
#   ``ido``, etc...

# 3. `Writing Snippets`_

#   Describes the YASnippet definition syntax, which is very close (but
#   not equivalent) to Textmate's. Includes a section about converting
#   TextMate snippets.

# 4. `The YASnippet menu`_

#   Explains how to use the YASnippet menu to explore, learn and modify
#   snippets.



# Loading snippets
# ================



# Organizing snippets
# ===================

# Once you've setup ``yas/root-directory`` , you can store snippets
# inside sub-directories of these directories.



# The ``.yas.parents`` file
# -------------------------

# It's very useful to have certain modes share snippets between
# themselves. To do this, choose a mode subdirectory and place a
# ``.yas-parents`` containing a whitespace-separated list of other
# mode names. When you reload those modes become parents of the
# original mode.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   $ tree
#   .
#   |-- c-mode
#   |   |-- .yas-parents    # contains "cc-mode text-mode"
#   |   `-- printf
#   |-- cc-mode
#   |   |-- for
#   |   `-- while
#   |-- java-mode
#   |   |-- .yas-parents    # contains "cc-mode text-mode"
#   |   `-- println
#   `-- text-mode
#       |-- email
#       `-- time

# The ``.yas-make-groups`` file
# -----------------------------

# .. image:: images/menu-groups.png
#    :align: right

# If you place an empty plain text file ``.yas-make-groups`` inside one
# of the mode directories, the names of these sub-directories are
# considered groups of snippets and `The YASnippet Menu`_ is organized
# much more cleanly, as you can see in the image.

# Another alternative way to achieve this is to place a ``# group:``
# directive inside the snippet definition. See `Writing Snippets`_.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   $ tree ruby-mode/
#   ruby-mode/
#   |-- .yas-make-groups
#   |-- collections
#   |   |-- each
#   |   `-- ...
#   |-- control structure
#   |   |-- forin
#   |   `-- ...
#   |-- definitions
#   |   `-- ...
#   `-- general
#       `-- ...


# YASnippet bundle
# ================

# The most convenient way to define snippets for YASnippet is to put
# them in a directory arranged by the mode and use
# ``yas/load-directory`` to load them.

# However, this might slow down the Emacs start-up speed if you have many
# snippets. You can use ``yas/define-snippets`` to define a bunch of
# snippets for a particular mode in an Emacs-lisp file.

# Since this is hard to maintain, there's a better way: define your
# snippets in directory and then call ``M-x yas/compile-bundle`` to
# compile it into a bundle file when you modified your snippets.

# The release bundle of YASnippet is produced by
# ``yas/compile-bundle``. The bundle uses ``yas/define-snippets`` to
# define snippets. This avoids the IO and parsing overhead when loading
# snippets.

# Further more, the generated bundle is a stand-alone file not depending
# on ``yasnippet.el``. The released bundles of YASnippet are all
# generated this way.

# See the internal documentation for these functions

# \* ``M-x describe-function RET yas/define-snippets RET``
# \* ``M-x describe-function RET yas/compile-bundle RET``.

# Customizable variables
# ======================

# ``yas/root-directory``
# ----------------------

# Root directory that stores the snippets for each major mode.

# If you set this from your .emacs, can also be a list of strings,
# for multiple root directories. If you make this a list, the first
# element is always the user-created snippets directory. Other
# directories are used for bulk reloading of all snippets using
# ``yas/reload-all``

# ``yas/ignore-filenames-as-triggers``
# ------------------------------------

# If non-nil, don't derive tab triggers from filenames.

# This means a snippet without a ``# key:`` directive wont have a tab
# trigger.

# Triggering expansion
# ====================

# You can use YASnippet to expand snippets in different ways:

# \* By typing an abbrev, the snippet *trigger key*, and then pressing
#   the key defined in ``yas/trigger-key`` (which defaults to
#   "TAB"). This works in buffers where the minor mode
#   ``yas/minor-mode`` is active;

# \* By invoking the command ``yas/insert-snippet`` (either by typing
#   ``M-x yas/insert-snippet`` or its keybinding). This does *not*
#   require ``yas/minor-mode`` to be active.

# \* By using the keybinding associated with an active snippet. This also
#   requires ``yas/minor-mode`` to be active;

# \* By expanding directly from the "YASnippet" menu in the menu-bar

# \* By using hippie-expand

# \* Expanding from emacs-lisp code

# Trigger key
# -----------

# When ``yas/minor-mode`` is enabled, the keybinding taken from
# ``yas/trigger-key`` will take effect.

# ``yas/trigger-key`` invokes ``yas/expand``, which tries to expand a
# \*snippet abbrev* (also known as *snippet key*) before point.

# The default key is ``"TAB"``, however, you can freely set it to some
# other key.

# .. image:: images/minor-mode-indicator.png
#    :align: left

# To enable the YASnippet minor mode in all buffers globally use the
# command ``yas/global-mode``.

# When you use ``yas/global-mode`` you can also selectively disable
# YASnippet in some buffers by setting the buffer-local variable
# ``yas/dont-active`` in the buffer's mode hook.

# Trouble when using or understanding the ``yas/trigger-key`` is easily
# the most controversial issue in YASsnippet. See the `FAQ <faq.html>`_.

# Fallback bahaviour
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# ``yas/fallback-behaviour`` is a customization variable bound to
# ``'call-other-command`` by default. If ``yas/expand`` failed to find
# any suitable snippet to expand, it will disable the minor mode
# temporarily and find if there's any other command bound the
# ``yas/trigger-key``.

# If found, the command will be called. Usually this works very well --
# when there's a snippet, expand it, otherwise, call whatever command
# originally bind to the trigger key.

# However, you can change this behavior by customizing the
# ``yas/fallback-behavior`` variable. If you set this variable to
# ``'return-nil``, it will return ``nil`` instead of trying to call the
# \*original* command when no snippet is found.

# Insert at point
# ---------------

# The command ``M-x yas/insert-snippet`` lets you insert snippets at
# point *for you current major mode*. It prompts you for the snippet
# key first, and then for a snippet template if more than one template
# exists for the same key.

# The list presented contains the snippets that can be inserted at
# point, according to the condition system. If you want to see all
# applicable snippets for the major mode, prefix this command with
# ``C-u``.

# The prompting methods used are again controlled by
# ``yas/prompt-functions``.

# Snippet keybinding
# ------------------

# See the section of the ``# binding:`` directive in `Writing
# Snippets`_.


# Expanding from the menu
# -----------------------

# See `the YASnippet Menu`_.

# Expanding with ``hippie-expand``
# ----------------------------------

# To integrate with ``hippie-expand``, just put
# ``yas/hippie-try-expand`` in
# ``hippie-expand-try-functions-list``. This probably makes more sense
# when placed at the top of the list, but it can be put anywhere you
# prefer.

# Expanding from emacs-lisp code
# ------------------------------

# Sometimes you might want to expand a snippet directly from you own
# elisp code. You should call ``yas/expand-snippet`` instead of
# ``yas/expand`` in this case.

# As with expanding from the menubar, the condition system and multiple
# candidates doesn't affect expansion. In fact, expanding from the
# YASnippet menu has the same effect of evaluating the follow code:

# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp

#   (yas/expand-snippet template)

# See the internal documentation on ``yas/expand-snippet`` for more
# information.

# Controlling expansion
# =====================

# Eligible snippets
# -----------------

# YASnippet does quite a bit of filtering to find out which snippets are
# eligible for expanding at the current cursor position.

# In particular, the following things matter:

# \* Currently loaded snippets tables

#   These are loaded from a directory hierarchy in your file system. See
#   `Organizing Snippets`_. They are named after major modes like
#   ``html-mode``, ``ruby-mode``, etc...

# \* Major mode of the current buffer

#   If the currrent major mode matches one of the loaded snippet tables,
#   then all that table's snippets are considered for expansion. Use
#   ``M-x describe-variable RET major-mode RET`` to find out which major
#   mode you are in currently.

# \* Parent tables

#   Snippet tables defined as the parent of some other eligible table
#   are also considered. This works recursively, i.e. parents of parents
#   of eligible tables are also considered.

# \* Buffer-local ``yas/mode-symbol`` variable

#   This can be used to consider snippet tables whose name does not
#   correspond to a major mode. If you set this variable to a name ,
#   like ``rinari-minor-mode``, you can have some snippets expand only
#   in that minor mode. Naturally, you want to set this conditionally,
#   i.e. only when entering that minor mode, so using a hook is a good
#   idea.

# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp

#   ;; When entering rinari-minor-mode, consider also the snippets in the
#   ;; snippet table "rails-mode"
#   (add-hook 'rinari-minor-mode-hook
#             #'(lambda ()
#                 (setq yas/mode-symbol 'rails-mode)))

# \* Buffer-local ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` variable

#   This variable provides finer grained control over what snippets can
#   be expanded in the current buffer. The default value won't let you
#   expand snippets inside comments or string literals for example. See
#   `The condition system`_ for more info.

# The condition system
# --------------------

# Consider this scenario: you are an old Emacs hacker. You like the
# abbrev-way and set ``yas/trigger-key`` to ``"SPC"``. However,
# you don't want ``if`` to be expanded as a snippet when you are typing
# in a comment block or a string (e.g. in ``python-mode``).

# If you use the ``# condition :`` directive (see `Writing Snippets`_)
# you could just specify the condition for ``if`` to be ``(not
# (python-in-string/comment))``. But how about ``while``, ``for``,
# etc. ? Writing the same condition for all the snippets is just
# boring. So has a buffer local variable
# ``yas/buffer-local-condition``. You can set this variable to ``(not
# (python-in-string/comment))`` in ``python-mode-hook``.

# Then, what if you really want some particular snippet to expand even
# inside a comment? This is also possible! But let's stop telling the
# story and look at the rules:

# \* If ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` evaluate to nil, no snippets will
#   be considered for expansion.

# \* If it evaluates to the a *cons cell* where the ``car`` is the symbol
#   ``require-snippet-condition`` and the ``cdr`` is a symbol (let's
#   call it ``requirement``), then:

#   * Snippets having no ``# condition:`` directive won't be considered;

#   * Snippets with conditions that evaluate to nil (or produce an
#     error) won't be considered;

#   * If the snippet has a condition that evaluates to non-nil (let's
#     call it ``result``):

#     * If ``requirement`` is ``t``, the snippet is ready to be
#       expanded;

#     * If ``requirement`` is ``eq`` to ``result``, the snippet is ready
#       to be expanded;

#     * Otherwise the snippet won't be considered.

# \* If it evaluates to the symbol ``always``, all snippets are
#   considered for expansion, regardless of any conditions.

# \* If it evaluate to ``t`` or some other non-nil value:

#   * If the snippet has no condition, or has a condition that evaluate
#     to non-nil, it is ready to be expanded.

#   * Otherwise, it won't be considered.

# In the mentioned scenario, set ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` like
# this

# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp

#   (add-hook 'python-mode-hook
#             '(lambda ()
#                (setq yas/buffer-local-condition
#                      '(if (python-in-string/comment)
#                           '(require-snippet-condition . force-in-comment)
#                         t))))

# ... and specify the condition for a snippet that you're going to
# expand in comment to be evaluated to the symbol
# ``force-in-comment``. Then it can be expanded as you expected, while
# other snippets like ``if`` still can't expanded in comment.

# Multiples snippet with the same key
# -----------------------------------

# The rules outlined `above <Eligible snippets>`_ can return more than
# one snippet to be expanded at point.

# When there are multiple candidates, YASnippet will let you select
# one. The UI for selecting multiple candidate can be customized through
# ``yas/prompt-functions`` , which defines your preferred methods of
# being prompted for snippets.

# You can customize it with ``M-x customize-variable RET
# yas/prompt-functions RET``. Alternatively you can put in your
# emacs-file:

# .. sourcecode:: common-lisp

#    (setq yas/prompt-functions '(yas/x-prompt yas/dropdown-prompt))

# Currently there are some alternatives solution with YASnippet.

# .. image:: images/x-menu.png
#    :align: right

# Use the X window system
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# The function ``yas/x-prompt`` can be used to show a popup menu for you
# to select. This menu will be part of you native window system widget,
# which means:

# \* It usually looks beautiful. E.g. when you compile Emacs with gtk
#   support, this menu will be rendered with your gtk theme.
# \* Your window system may or may not allow to you use ``C-n``, ``C-p``
#   to navigate this menu.
# \* This function can't be used when in a terminal.

# .. image:: images/ido-menu.png
#    :align: right

# Minibuffer prompting
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# You can use functions ``yas/completing-prompt`` for the classic emacs
# completion method or ``yas/ido-prompt`` for a much nicer looking
# method. The best way is to try it. This works in a terminal.

# .. image:: images/dropdown-menu.png
#    :align: right

# Use ``dropdown-menu.el``
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# The function ``yas/dropdown-prompt`` can also be placed in the
# ``yas/prompt-functions`` list.

# This works in both window system and terminal and is customizable, you
# can use ``C-n``, ``C-p`` to navigate, ``q`` to quit and even press
# ``6`` as a shortcut to select the 6th candidate.

# Roll your own
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# See below for the documentation on variable ``yas/prompt-functions``

# Customizable Variables
# ======================

# ``yas/prompt-functions``
# ------------------------

# You can write a function and add it to the ``yas/prompt-functions``
# list. These functions are called with the following arguments:

# \* PROMPT: A string to prompt the user;

# \* CHOICES: A list of strings or objects;

# \* optional DISPLAY-FN : A function. When applied to each of the
#   objects in CHOICES it will return a string;

# The return value of any function you put here should be one of
# the objects in CHOICES, properly formatted with DISPLAY-FN (if
# that is passed).

# \* To signal that your particular style of prompting is unavailable at
#   the moment, you can also have the function return nil.

# \* To signal that the user quit the prompting process, you can signal
#   ``quit`` with ``(signal 'quit "user quit!")``

# ``yas/fallback-behavior``
# -------------------------

# How to act when ``yas/expand`` does *not* expand a snippet.

# ``call-other-command`` means try to temporarily disable YASnippet and
#     call the next command bound to ``yas/trigger-key``.

# ``return-nil`` means return nil. (i.e. do nothing)

# An entry (apply COMMAND . ARGS) means interactively call COMMAND, if
# ARGS is non-nil, call COMMAND non-interactively with ARGS as
# arguments.

# ``yas/choose-keys-first``
# -------------------------

# If non-nil, prompt for snippet key first, then for template.

# Otherwise prompts for all possible snippet names.

# This affects ``yas/insert-snippet`` and ``yas/visit-snippet-file``.

# ``yas/choose-tables-first``
# ---------------------------

# If non-nil, and multiple eligible snippet tables, prompts user for
# tables first.

# Otherwise, user chooses between the merging together of all
# eligible tables.

# This affects ``yas/insert-snippet``, ``yas/visit-snippet-file``

# ``yas/key-syntaxes``
# --------------------

# The default searching strategy is quite powerful. For example, in
# ``c-mode``, ``bar``, ``foo_bar``, ``"#foo_bar"`` can all be recognized
# as a snippet key. Furthermore, the searching is in that order. In
# other words, if ``bar`` is found to be a key to some *valid* snippet,
# then that snippet is expanded and replaces the ``bar``. Snippets
# pointed to by ``foo_bar`` and ``"#foobar`` won't be considered.

# However, this strategy can also be customized easily from the
# ``yas/key-syntaxes`` variable. It is a list of syntax rules, the
# default value is ``("w" "w_" "w_." "^ ")``. Which means search the
# following thing until found one:

# \* a word.
# \* a symbol. In lisp, ``-`` and ``?`` can all be part of a symbol.
# \* a sequence of characters of either word, symbol or punctuation.
# \* a sequence of characters of non-whitespace characters.

# But you'd better keep the default value unless you want to understand
# how Emacs's syntax rules work...

# Snippet development
# ===================

# Quickly finding snippets
# ------------------------

# There are some ways you can quickly find a snippet file:

# \* ``M-x yas/new-snippet``

#   Prompts you for a snippet name, then tries to guess a suitable
#   directory to store it, prompting you for creation if it does not
#   exist. Finally, places you in a new buffer set to ``snippet-mode``
#   so you can write your snippet.

# \* ``M-x yas/find-snippets``

#   Lets you find the snippet file in the directory the snippet was
#   loaded from (if it exists) like ``find-file-other-window``. The
#   directory searching logic is similar to ``M-x yas/new-snippet``.

# \* ``M-x yas/visit-snippet-file``

#   Prompts you for possible snippet expansions like
#   ``yas/insert-snippet``, but instead of expanding it, takes you
#   directly to the snippet definition's file, if it exists.

# Once you find this file it will be set to ``snippet-mode`` (see ahead)
# and you can start editing your snippet.


# Using the ``snippet-mode`` major mode
# -------------------------------------

# There is a major mode ``snippet-mode`` to edit snippets. You can set
# the buffer to this mode with ``M-x snippet-mode``. It provides
# reasonably useful syntax highlighting.

# Two commands are defined in this mode:

# \* ``M-x yas/load-snippet-buffer``

#     When editing a snippet, this loads the snippet into the correct
#     mode and menu. Bound to ``C-c C-c`` by default while in
#     ``snippet-mode``.

# \* ``M-x yas/tryout-snippet``

#     When editing a snippet, this opens a new empty buffer, sets it to
#     the appropriate major mode and inserts the snippet there, so you
#     can see what it looks like. This is bound to ``C-c C-t`` while in
#     ``snippet-mode``.

# There are also *snippets for writing snippets*: ``vars``, ``$f`` and
# ``$m`` :-).

# File content
# ============

# A file defining a snippet generally contains the template to be
# expanded.

# Optionally, if the file contains a line of ``# --``, the lines above
# it count as comments, some of which can be *directives* (or meta
# data). Snippet directives look like ``# property: value`` and tweak
# certain snippets properties described below. If no ``# --`` is found,
# the whole file is considered the snippet template.

# Here's a typical example:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   # contributor: pluskid <pluskid@gmail.com>
#   # name: __...__
#   # --
#   __${init}__

# Here's a list of currently supported directives:

# ``# key:`` snippet abbrev
# --------------------------

# This is the probably the most important directive, it's the abbreviation you
# type to expand a snippet just before hitting ``yas/trigger-key``. If you don't
# specify this the snippet will not be expandable through the key mechanism.

# ``# name:`` snippet name
# ------------------------

# This is a one-line description of the snippet. It will be displayed in
# the menu. It's a good idea to select a descriptive name for a
# snippet -- especially distinguishable among similar snippets.

# If you omit this name it will default to the file name the snippet was
# loaded from.

# ``# condition:`` snippet condition
# ----------------------------------
# This is a piece of Emacs-lisp code. If a snippet has a condition, then it
# will only be expanded when the condition code evaluate to some non-nil
# value.

# See also ``yas/buffer-local-condition`` in `Expanding snippets`_


# ``# group:`` snippet menu grouping
# ----------------------------------

# When expanding/visiting snippets from the menu-bar menu, snippets for a
# given mode can be grouped into sub-menus . This is useful if one has
# too many snippets for a mode which will make the menu too
# long.

# The ``# group:`` property only affect menu construction (See `the
# YASnippet menu`_) and the same effect can be achieved by grouping
# snippets into sub-directories and using the ``.yas-make-groups``
# special file (for this see `Organizing Snippets`_


# Refer to the bundled snippets for ``ruby-mode`` for examples on the
# ``# group:`` directive. Group can also be nested, e.g.  ``control
# structure.loops`` tells that the snippet is under the ``loops`` group
# which is under the ``control structure`` group.

# ``# expand-env:`` expand environment
# ------------------------------------

# This is another piece of Emacs-lisp code in the form of a ``let``
# \*varlist form*, i.e. a list of lists assigning values to variables. It
# can be used to override variable values while the snippet is being
# expanded.

# Interesting variables to override are ``yas/wrap-around-region`` and
# ``yas/indent-line`` (see `Expanding Snippets`_).

# As an example, you might normally have ``yas/indent-line`` set to
# ``'auto`` and ``yas/wrap-around-region`` set to ``t``, but for this
# particularly brilliant piece of ASCII art these values would mess up
# your hard work. You can then use:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   # name: ASCII home
#   # expand-env: ((yas/indent-line 'fixed) (yas/wrap-around-region 'nil))
#   # --
#                   welcome to my
#               X      humble
#              / \      home,
#             /   \      $0
#            /     \
#           /-------\
#           |       |
#           |  +-+  |
#           |  | |  |
#           +--+-+--+

# ``# binding:`` direct keybinding
# ---------------------------------

# You can use this directive to expand a snippet directly from a normal
# Emacs keybinding. The keybinding will be registered in the Emacs
# keymap named after the major mode the snippet is active
# for.

# Additionally a variable ``yas/prefix`` is set to to the prefix
# argument you normally use for a command. This allows for small
# variations on the same snippet, for example in this "html-mode"
# snippet.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   # name: <p>...</p>
#   # binding: C-c C-c C-m
#   # --
#   <p>`(when yas/prefix "\n")`$0`(when yas/prefix "\n")`</p>

# This binding will be recorded in the keymap
# ``html-mode-map``. To expand a paragraph tag newlines, just
# press ``C-u C-c C-c C-m``. Omitting the ``C-u`` will expand the
# paragraph tag without newlines.

# ``# contributor:`` snippet author
# ---------------------------------------------------

# This is optional and has no effect whatsoever on snippet
# functionality, but it looks nice.

# Template syntax
# ===============

# The syntax of the snippet template is simple but powerful, very
# similar to TextMate's.

# Plain Text
# ----------

# Arbitrary text can be included as the content of a template. They are
# usually interpreted as plain text, except ``$`` and `````. You need to
# use ``\`` to escape them: ``\$`` and ``\```. The ``\`` itself may also
# needed to be escaped as ``\\`` sometimes.

# Embedded Emacs-lisp code
# ------------------------

# Emacs-Lisp code can be embedded inside the template, written inside
# back-quotes (`````). The lisp forms are evaluated when the snippet is
# being expanded. The evaluation is done in the same buffer as the
# snippet being expanded.

# Here's an example for ``c-mode`` to calculate the header file guard
# dynamically:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   #ifndef ${1:_`(upcase (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name))))`_H_}
#   #define $1

#   $0

#   #endif /* $1 */

# From version 0.6, snippets expansions are run with some special
# Emacs-lisp variables bound. One of this is ``yas/selected-text``. You
# can therefore define a snippet like:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#    for ($1;$2;$3) {
#      `yas/selected-text`$0
#    }

# to "wrap" the selected region inside your recently inserted
# snippet. Alternatively, you can also customize the variable
# ``yas/wrap-around-region`` to ``t`` which will do this automatically.

# Tab stop fields
# ---------------

# Tab stops are fields that you can navigate back and forth by ``TAB``
# and ``S-TAB``. They are written by ``$`` followed with a
# number. ``$0`` has the special meaning of the *exit point* of a
# snippet. That is the last place to go when you've traveled all the
# fields. Here's a typical example:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   <div$1>
#       $0
#   </div>

# Placeholder fields
# ------------------

# Tab stops can have default values -- a.k.a placeholders. The syntax is
# like this:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   ${N:default value}

# They acts as the default value for a tab stop. But when you firstly
# type at a tab stop, the default value will be replaced by your
# typing. The number can be omitted if you don't want to create
# `mirrors`_ or `transformations`_ for this field.

# .. _mirrors:

# Mirrors
# -------

# We refer the tab stops with placeholders as a *field*. A field can have
# mirrors. Its mirrors will get updated when you change the text of a
# field. Here's an example:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   \begin{${1:enumerate}}
#       $0
#   \end{$1}

# When you type ``"document"`` at ``${1:enumerate}``, the word
# ``"document"`` will also be inserted at ``\end{$1}``. The best
# explanation is to see the screencast(`YouTube
# <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOj7btx3ATg>`_ or `avi video
# <http://yasnippet.googlecode.com/files/yasnippet.avi>`_).

# The tab stops with the same number to the field act as its mirrors. If
# none of the tab stops has an initial value, the first one is selected
# as the field and others mirrors.

# .. _transformations:

# Mirrors with transformations
# ----------------------------

# If the value of an ``${n:``-construct starts with and contains ``$(``,
# then it is interpreted as a mirror for field ``n`` with a
# transformation. The mirror's text content is calculated according to
# this transformation, which is Emacs-lisp code that gets evaluated in
# an environment where the variable ``text`` (or ``yas/text``) is bound
# to the text content (string) contained in the field ``n``.Here's an
# example for Objective-C:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   - (${1:id})${2:foo}
#   {
#       return $2;
#   }

#   - (void)set${2:$(capitalize text)}:($1)aValue
#   {
#       [$2 autorelease];
#       $2 = [aValue retain];
#   }
#   $0

# Look at ``${2:$(capitalize text)}``, it is a mirror with
# transformation instead of a field. The actual field is at the first
# line: ``${2:foo}``. When you type text in ``${2:foo}``, the
# transformation will be evaluated and the result will be placed there
# as the transformed text. So in this example, if you type "baz" in the
# field, the transformed text will be "Baz". This example is also
# available in the screencast.

# Another example is for ``rst-mode``. In reStructuredText, the document
# title can be some text surrounded by "===" below and above. The "==="
# should be at least as long as the text. So

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   =====
#   Title
#   =====

# is a valid title but

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   ===
#   Title
#   ===

# is not. Here's an snippet for rst title:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)}
#   ${1:Title}
#   ${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\=)}

#   $0

# Fields with transformations
# ---------------------------

# From version 0.6 on, you can also have lisp transformation inside
# fields. These work mostly mirror transformations but are evaluated
# when you first enter the field, after each change you make to the
# field and also just before you exit the field.

# The syntax is also a tiny bit different, so that the parser can
# distinguish between fields and mirrors. In the following example

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   #define "${1:mydefine$(upcase yas/text)}"

# ``mydefine`` gets automatically upcased to ``MYDEFINE`` once you enter
# the field. As you type text, it gets filtered through the
# transformation every time.

# Note that to tell this kind of expression from a mirror with a
# transformation, YASnippet needs extra text between the ``:`` and the
# transformation's ``$``. If you don't want this extra-text, you can use
# two ``$``'s instead.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   #define "${1:$$(upcase yas/text)}"

# Please note that as soon as a transformation takes place, it changes
# the value of the field and sets it its internal modification state to
# ``true``. As a consequence, the auto-deletion behaviour of normal
# fields does not take place. This is by design.

# Choosing fields value from a list and other tricks
# --------------------------------------------------

# As mentioned, the field transformation is invoked just after you enter
# the field, and with some useful variables bound, notably
# ``yas/modified-p`` and ``yas/moving-away-p``. Because of this
# feature you can place a transformation in the primary field that lets
# you select default values for it.

# The ``yas/choose-value`` does this work for you. For example:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   <div align="${2:$$(yas/choose-value '("right" "center" "left"))}">
#     $0
#   </div>

# See the definition of ``yas/choose-value`` to see how it was written
# using the two variables.

# Here's another use, for LaTeX-mode, which calls reftex-label just as
# you enter snippet field 2. This one makes use of ``yas/modified-p``
# directly.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   \section{${1:"Titel der Tour"}}%
#   \index{$1}%
#   \label{{2:"waiting for reftex-label call..."$(unless yas/modified-p (reftex-label nil 'dont-
#   insert))}}%

# The function ``yas/verify-value`` has another neat trick, and makes
# use of ``yas/moving-away-p``. Try it and see! Also, check out this
# `thread
# <http://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet/browse_thread/thread/282a90a118e1b662>`_

# Nested placeholder fields
# -------------------------

# From version 0.6 on, you can also have nested placeholders of the type:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#    <div${1: id="${2:some_id}"}>$0</div>

# This allows you to choose if you want to give this ``div`` an ``id``
# attribute. If you tab forward after expanding it will let you change
# "some_id" to whatever you like. Alternatively, you can just press
# ``C-d`` (which executes ``yas/skip-and-clear-or-delete-char``) and go
# straight to the exit marker.

# By the way, ``C-d`` will only clear the field if you cursor is at the
# beginning of the field *and* it hasn't been changed yet. Otherwise, it
# performs the normal Emacs ``delete-char`` command.

# Customizable variables
# ======================

# ``yas/trigger-key``
# -------------------

# The key bound to ``yas/expand`` when function ``yas/minor-mode`` is
# active.

# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key
# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``.

# Default value is ``"TAB"``.

# ``yas/next-field-key``
# ----------------------

# The key to navigate to next field when a snippet is active.

# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key
# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``.

# Can also be a list of keys.

# Default value is ``"TAB"``.

# ``yas/prev-field-key``
# ----------------------

# The key to navigate to previous field when a snippet is active.

# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key
# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``.

# Can also be a list of keys.

# Default value is ``("<backtab>" "<S-tab>)"``.

# ``yas/skip-and-clear-key``
# --------------------------

# The key to clear the currently active field.

# Value is a string that is converted to the internal Emacs key
# representation using ``read-kbd-macro``.

# Can also be a list of keys.

# Default value is ``"C-d"``.

# ``yas/good-grace``
# ------------------

# If non-nil, don't raise errors in inline Emacs-lisp evaluation inside
# snippet definitions. An error string "[yas] error" is returned instead.

# ``yas/indent-line``
# -------------------

# The variable ``yas/indent-line`` controls the indenting. It is bound
# to ``'auto`` by default, which causes your snippet to be indented
# according to the mode of the buffer it was inserted in.

# Another variable ``yas/also-auto-indent-first-line``, when non-nil
# does exactly that :-).

# To use the hard-coded indentation in your snippet template, set this
# variable to ``fixed``.

# To control indentation on a per-snippet basis, see also the directive
# ``# expand-env:`` in `Writing Snippets`_.

# For backward compatibility with earlier versions of YASnippet, you can
# also place a ``$>`` in your snippet, an ``(indent-according-to-mode)``
# will be executed there to indent the line. This only takes effect when
# ``yas/indent-line`` is set to something other than ``'auto``.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   for (${int i = 0}; ${i < 10}; ${++i})
#   {$>
#   $0$>
#   }$>

# ``yas/wrap-around-region``
# --------------------------

# If non-nil, YASnippet will try to expand the snippet's exit marker
# around the currently selected region. When this variable is set to t,
# this has the same effect has using the ```yas/selected-text``` inline
# evaluation.

# Because on most systems starting to type deletes the currently
# selected region, this works mostly for snippets with direct
# keybindings or with the ``yas/insert-snippet`` command.

# However, when the value is of this variable is ``cua`` YASnippet will
# additionally look-up any recently selected that you deleted by starting
# typing. This allows you select a region, type a snippet key (deleting
# the region), then press ``yas/trigger-key`` to see the deleted region
# spring back to life inside your new snippet.

# ``yas/triggers-in-field``
# --------------------------

# If non-nil, ``yas/next-field-key`` can trigger stacked expansions,
# that is a snippet expansion inside another snippet
# expansion. Otherwise, ``yas/next-field-key`` just tries to move on to
# the next field.

# ``yas/snippet-revival``
# -----------------------

# Non-nil means re-activate snippet fields after undo/redo.

# ``yas/after-exit-snippet-hook`` and ``yas/before-expand-snippet-hook``
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# These hooks are called, respectively, before the insertion of a
# snippet and after exiting the snippet. If you find any strange but
# functional use for them, that's probably a design flaw in YASnippet,
# so let us know.

# Importing TextMate snippets
# ===========================

# There are a couple of tools that take TextMate's ".tmSnippet" xml
# files and create YASnippet definitions:

#  * `a python script by Jeff Wheeler
#    <http://code.nokrev.com/?p=snippet-copier.git;a=blob_plain;f=snippet_copier.py>`_

#  * a `ruby tool
#    <http://yasnippet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extras/textmate_import.rb>`_
#    , ``textmate_import.rb`` adapted from `Rob Christie's
#    <http://www.neutronflux.net/2009/07/28/shoulda-snippets-for-emacs/>`_,
#    which I have uploaded to the repository.

# In this section, i'll shortly cover the **second** option.

# Download the ``textmate_import.rb`` tool and the TextMate
# bundle you're interested in.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   $ curl -O http://yasnippet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extras/textmate_import.rb
#   $ svn export http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/HTML.tmbundle/


# Then invoke ``textmate_import.rb`` like this:

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   $ ./textmate_import.rb -d HTML.tmbundle/Snippets/ -o html-mode -g HTML.tmbundle/info.plist

# You should end up with a ``html-mode`` subdir containing snippets
# exported from textmate.

# .. sourcecode:: text

#   $ tree html-mode # to view dir contents, if you have 'tree' installed

# The ``-g`` is optional but helps the tool figure out the grouping.
# According to `Organizing Snippets`_, don't forget to touch
# ``.yas-make-groups`` and ``.yas-ignore-filename-triggers`` inside the
# ``html-mode`` dir.

# Also try ``textmate_import.rb --help`` for a list of options.

# Please note that snippet importation is not yet perfect. You'll
# probably have some adjustments to some/many snippets. Please
# contribute these adjustments to the google group or, better yet, patch
# the ``textmate_import.rb`` to automatically perform them and submit
# that.

# ==============
# YASnippet menu
# ==============

# .. contents::

# When ``yas/minor-mode`` is active, YASnippet will setup a menu just
# after the "Buffers" menu in the menubar.

# In this menu, you can find

# \* The currently loaded snippet definitions, organized by major mode,
#   and optional grouping.

# \* A rundown of the most common commands, (followed by their
#   keybindings) including commands to load directories and reload all
#   snippet definitions.

# \* A series of submenus for customizing and exploring YASnippet
#   behavior.

# .. image:: images/menu-1.png
#    :align: right

# Loading snippets from menu
# --------------------------

# Invoking "Load snippets..." from the menu invokes
# ``yas/load-directory`` and prompts you for a snippet directory
# hierarchy to load.

# Also useful is the "Reload all" options which uncondionally reloads
# all the snippets directories defined in ``yas/root-directory`` and
# rebuilds the menus.

# Snippet menu behavior
# ---------------------

# YASnippet will list in this section all the loaded snippet definitions
# organized by snippet table name.

# You can use this section to explore currently loaded snippets. If you
# click on one of them, the default behavior is to expand it,
# unconditionally, inside the current buffer.

# You can however, customize variable ``yas/visit-from-menu`` to be
# ``t`` which will take you to the snippet definition file when you
# select it from the menu.

# If you want the menu show only snippet tables whose name corresponds
# to a "real" major mode. You do this by setting ``yas/use-menu`` to
# ``'real-modes``.

# Finally, to have the menu show only the tables for the currently
# active mode, set ``yas/use-menu`` to ``abbreviate``.

# These customizations can also be found in the menu itself, under the
# "Snippet menu behavior" submenu.


# Controlling indenting
# ---------------------

# The "Indenting" submenu contains options to control the values of
# ``yas/indent-line`` and ``yas/also-auto-indent-first-line``. See
# `Writing snippets <snippet-development.html>`_ .

# Prompting method
# ----------------

# The "Prompting method" submenu contains options to control the value
# of ``yas/prompt-functions``. See `Expanding snippets <snippet-expansion.html>`_ .

# Misc
# ----

# The "Misc" submenu contains options to control the values of more
# variables.

# ============================
#  Frequently Asked Questions
# ============================

# Why is there an extra newline?
# ==============================

# If you have a newline at the end of the snippet definition file, then
# YASnippet will add a newline when you expanding a snippet. Please
# don't add a newline at the end if you don't want it when you saving
# the snippet file.

# Note some editors will automatically add a newline for you. In Emacs,
# if you set ``require-final-newline`` to ``t``, it will add the final
# newline for you automatically.

# Why doesn't TAB expand a snippet?
# =================================

# First check the mode line to see if there's ``yas``. If not, then try
# ``M-x yas/minor-mode`` to manually turn on the minor mode and try to
# expand the snippet again. If it works, then, you can add the following
# code to your ``.emacs`` *before* loading YASnippet:

# .. sourcecode:: lisp

#   (add-hook 'the-major-mode-hook 'yas/minor-mode-on)

# where ``the-major-mode`` is the major mode in which ``yas/minor-mode``
# isn't enabled by default.

# From YASnippet 0.6 you can also use the command ``M-x
# yas/global-mode`` to turn on YASnippet automatically for *all* major
# modes.

# If ``yas/minor-mode`` is on but the snippet still not expanded. Then
# try to see what command is bound to the ``TAB`` key: press ``C-h k``
# and then press ``TAB``. Emacs will show you the result.

# You'll see a buffer prompted by Emacs saying that ``TAB runs the
# command ...``. Alternatively, you might see ``<tab> runs the command
# ...``, note the difference between ``TAB`` and ``<tab>`` where the
# latter has priority. If you see ``<tab>`` bound to a command other
# than ``yas/expand``, (e.g. in ``org-mode``) you can try the following
# code to work around:

# .. sourcecode:: lisp

#   (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
#             (let ((original-command (lookup-key org-mode-map [tab])))
#               `(lambda ()
#                  (setq yas/fallback-behavior
#                        '(apply ,original-command))
#                  (local-set-key [tab] 'yas/expand))))

# replace ``org-mode-hook`` and ``org-mode-map`` with the major mode
# hook you are dealing with (Use ``C-h m`` to see what major mode you
# are in).

# As an alternative, you can also try

# .. sourcecode:: lisp

#   (defun yas/advise-indent-function (function-symbol)
#     (eval `(defadvice ,function-symbol (around yas/try-expand-first activate)
#              ,(format
#                "Try to expand a snippet before point, then call `%s' as usual"
#                function-symbol)
#              (let ((yas/fallback-behavior nil))
#                (unless (and (interactive-p)
#                             (yas/expand))
#                  ad-do-it)))))

#   (yas/advise-indent-function 'ruby-indent-line)

# To *advise* the modes indentation function bound to TAB, (in this case
# ``ruby-indent-line``) to first try to run ``yas/expand``.

# If the output of ``C-h k RET <tab>`` tells you that ``<tab>`` is
# indeed bound to ``yas/expand`` but YASnippet still doesn't work, check
# your configuration and you may also ask for help on the `discussion
# group <http://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet>`_. See this
# particular `thread
# <http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/issues/detail?id=93&can=1>`_ for
# quite some solutions and alternatives.

# Don't forget to attach the information on what command is bound to TAB
# as well as the mode information (Can be obtained by ``C-h m``).

# Why doesn't TAB navigation work with flyspell
# =============================================

# A workaround is to inhibit flyspell overlays while the snippet is active:

# .. sourcecode:: lisp

#   (add-hook 'flyspell-incorrect-hook
#           #'(lambda (dummy1 dummy2 dymmy3)
#               (and yas/active-field-overlay
#                    (overlay-buffer yas/active-field-overlay))))

# This is apparently related to overlay priorities. For some reason, the
# ``keymap`` property of flyspell's overlays always takes priority over
# the same property in yasnippet's overlays, even if one sets the
# latter's ``priority`` property to something big. If you know
# emacs-lisp and can solve this problem, drop a line in the `discussion
# group`_.

# How do I turn off the minor mode where in some buffers
# ======================================================

# The best way, since version 0.6.1c, is to set the default value of the
# variable ``yas/dont-activate`` to a lambda function like so:

# .. sourcecode:: lisp

#   (set-default 'yas/dont-activate
#              #'(lambda ()
#                  (and yas/root-directory
#                       (null (yas/get-snippet-tables)))))

# This is also the default value starting for that version. It skips the
# minor mode in buffers where it is not applicable (no snippet tables),
# but only once you have setup your yas/root-directory.


# How do I define an abbrev key containing characters not supported by the filesystem?
# ====================================================================================

# \**Note**: This question applies if you're still defining snippets
#   whose key *is* the filename. This is behavior stil provided by
#   version 0.6 for backward compatibilty, but is somewhat deprecated...

# For example, you want to define a snippet by the key ``<`` which is
# not a valid character for filename on Windows. This means you can't
# use the filename as a trigger key in this case.

# You should rather use the ``# key:`` directive to specify the key of
# the defined snippet explicitly and name your snippet with an arbitrary
# valid filename, ``lt.yasnippet`` for example, using ``<`` for the
# ``# key:`` directive:

# .. sourcecode:: text

# 0.5.0 / 2008-04-10

#   other minor modes.

#   wiki document will be deprecated soon.

# \* yas/before-expand-snippet-hook

# 0.3.2 / 2008-03-19
# ==================

# \* Enhancement: A better way to define minor-mode. Thanks to Kentaro
#   Kuribayashi. See `this thread
#   <https://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet/browse_thread/thread/65cb3b5583eda887?hl=en>`_
#   for more details.

# 0.3.1 / 2008-03-17
# ==================

# \* Bug fix: Emacs get confused when a field is deleted. See `issue 10
#   <http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/issues/detail?id=10>`_.

# 0.3.0 / 2008-03-16
# ==================

# \* Add a ``yas/after-exit-snippet-hook`` so that you can do something like
#   ``indent-region`` or ``fill-region`` after finish the snippet.
# \* Use minor-mode instead of ``global-set-key`` to bind the trigger
#   key. Now the trigger key and fall-back behavior can be more
#   flexible. Not constrained to ``<tab>``. Thanks to Trey Jackson. See
#   this `thread
#   <https://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet/browse_thread/thread/937f32a2a6dea4f2?hl=en>`_
#   for more details.

#   field.

# \* Fix the insert-behind problem under both Emacs 22 and Emacs 23.

# 0.2.0 / 2008-03-10
# ==================

# \* Use big keymap overlay to detect ``insert-behind`` event manually to
#   avoid sometimes missed hook calls. See `issue 3
#   <http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/issues/detail?id=3>`_ for more
#   details.
# \* Support parent snippet table. Now you can set (for example)
#   ``cc-mode`` as common mode for ``c++-mode``, ``c-mode`` and
#   ``java-mode``. They'll share snippets defined for ``cc-mode``.

# 0.1.1 / 2008-03-08
# ==================

# \* Add a rake task to upload to google code.
