# Installation
## Install with el-get
El-get is a nice way to get the most recent version, too. See
-https://github.com/dimitri/el-get for instructions. Be sure to install the
-"master" branch since the 3.x series still use the old googlecode code, base.
-Consider using this "local" recipe.

## Use `yas-minor-mode` on a per-buffer basis
-To use YASnippet as a non-global minor mode, replace `(yas-global-mode 1)` with
-`(yas-reload-all)` to load the snippet tables. Then add a call to
-`(yas-minor-mode)` to the major-modes where you to enable YASnippet.
+To use YASnippet as a non-global minor mode, don't call
+`yas-global-mode`; instead call `yas-reload-all` to load the snippet
+tables and then call `yas-minor-mode` from the hooks of major-modes
+where you want YASnippet enabled.
- (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook
- '(lambda ()

+ (yas-reload-all)
+ (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'yas-minor-mode)

## Important note regarding bug reporting
Your bug reports are very valuable.
-The most important thing when reporting bugs is making sure that the
