Hi all...

I am trying to add to the WikiText content assist options with templates.

I added a simple template named <code> using the <code> template from the Java editor. The pattern is

<code>${word_selection}</code>${cursor}

I also tried

<code>${word_selection}${}</code>${cursor}

I want the <code> template to work in code assist like the build in <--comment.

When no text is selected <code> is included in the context assist list and works as described in the WikiText Users Guide.

When text is selected <code> is not included in the context assist list. This is frustrating as I'd like to clean up text I've written with code assist, enclosing selected text with <code></code> for example.

I've tried lots of variations and spent the morning searching eclipse.org and google in general for template examples.

What am I doing wrong?

In the Java Text Editor template what does ${} do in the pattern.

Thanks
Bill Blalock

try this:

<code>${text}</code>${cursor}

${text} will be replaced by the current text selection (if there is one)

I just tried it here and it works for me. Please let me know how it
works out for you.

You are right!

Do you know where the documentation of the the variables that WikiText templates can process is? "text" is not listed as a choice in the insert variable list. In some examples I saw other variables not on the insert variable list used in templates (for example the name of the document).

I checked the Galileo Context Help. "text" was not included in the Editor Template - Template variables help. I could not find any help on template variables in the WikiText documentation. I haven't check the Helio help yet.

Again, thanks for getting me unstuck on this problem!

Have a good one!!!

Bill,

Glad it's working for you! As far as I know these variables are not
documented except for in the UI where you found the others. I'm not
sure why ${text} is not listed.
