# Intro

**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][textmate-snippets] syntax, you can even
[import][import-docs] most TextMate templates to YASnippet. Watch
[a demo on YouTube][youtube-demo] or download a
[higher resolution version][high-res-demo]
