XML template behaviour [message #201779]

Hello,

If I define a template in XML Files then the behaviour is that the shortcut
will not be replaced but the template is added:

Example:

I would like to define the following template:

<para>
<programlisting>

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

parse="text" href="../examples/${cursor}" />

</programlisting>

</para>

I can not define for example: <pl> as a template as then the result of this
template would be:

<pl> <para>
<programlisting>

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

parse="text" href="../examples/${cursor}" />

</programlisting>

</para>

Java templates replace the orginal string. Is there a way to do this also in
XML Files templates or shall I post a feature request for this?

Best regards, Lars

Lars, the XML Templates will replace the existing tag, the problem is
that you are using what looks like to be xml tag as your template name.
If you just had pl with out the < and > surrounding it, and then used
CTRL+SPACE to bring up the proposed templates, it will replace the
template text.

Because what you typed could be the start of a valid tag, it doesn't
replace it but inserts your code.

You may want to report it as a feature or bug fix request. But I
believe it does work as it was designed too.
