+<p>The most convenient way to define snippets for YASnippet is to put
+them in a directory arranged by the mode and use
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/load-directory</span></tt> to load them.</p>
+<p>However, this might slow down the Emacs startup speed if you have many
+snippets. You can use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/define-snippets</span></tt> to define a bunch of
+snippets for a perticular mode. But this is hard to maintain! So,
+there's a better way: define your snippets in directory and use
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/compile-bundle</span></tt> to compile it into a bundle file when you
+modified your snippets.</p>
+<p>The release bundle of YASnippet is produced by
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/compile-bundle</span></tt>. The bundle use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/define-snippets</span></tt> to
+define snippets. This avoid the IO and parsing overhead when loading
+snippets.</p>
+<p>Finally, you can use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/define</span></tt> to define a single snippet at your
+convenience. I ofthen use this to do some testing.</p>

+<p>Snippet definitions are put in plain text files. They are arranged by
+subdirectories. For example, snippets for <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> are put in the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> directory.</p>
+<p>The parent directory acts as the <em>parent mode</em>. This is the way of
+YASnippet to share snippet definitions among different modes. As you
+can see above, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c++-mode</span></tt> share the same parents
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cc-mode</span></tt>, while all modes are derived from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">text-mode</span></tt>. This can
+be also used to as an <em>alias</em> -- <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cperl-mode</span></tt> is an empty directory
+whose parent is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">perl-mode</span></tt>.</p>
+<p>File names act as the snippet trigger key. Note files starting with a
+dot (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.</span></tt>) are ignored.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="file-content">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id10">File content</a></h2>
+<p>A file defining a snippet may just contain the template for the
+snippet. Optionally it can also contains some meta data for the
+snippet as well as comments.</p>
+<p>Generally speaking, if the file contains a line of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#</span> <span class="pre">--</span></tt>, then all
+contents above that line are considered as meta data and comments;
+below are template. Or else the whole file content is considered as
+the template.</p>
+<p>Here's a typical example:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>#contributor : pluskid <pluskid@gmail.com>

+<ul class="simple">
+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt>: The name of the snippet. This is a one-line description of

+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">contributor</span></tt>: The contributor of the snippet.</li>
+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">condition</span></tt>: The condition of the snippet. This is a piece of
+elisp code. If a snippet has a condition, then it will only be
+expanded when the condition code evaluate to some non-nil value.</li>
+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">key</span></tt>: The key to expand the snippet. Sometimes the key of a
+snippet is non-ASCII or not valid filename (e.g. contains
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/</span></tt>). One can then define the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">key</span></tt> property which will
+overwrite the filename as the key to expand the snippet.</li>
+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">group</span></tt>: The snippets for a mode can be grouped. Grouped snippets
+will be grouped in sub-menu. This is useful if one has too many
+snippets for a mode which will make the menu too long. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">group</span></tt>
+property only affect menu construction (See <a class="reference internal" href="#the-menu">The Menu</a>). Refer to

+<p>When user press the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/trigger-key</span></tt>, YASnippet try to find a

+explained here.</p>
+<div class="section" id="finding-the-key">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id18">Finding the key</a></h2>
+<p>YASnippet search from current point backward trying to find the
+snippet to be expanded. The default searching strategy is quite
+powerful. For example, in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"bar"</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"foo_bar"</span></tt>,
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"#foo_bar"</span></tt> can all be recognized as a template key. Further more,
+the searching is in that order. In other words, if <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"bar"</span></tt> is found
+to be a key to some <em>valid</em> snippet, then <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"foo_bar"</span></tt> and
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"#foobar"</span></tt> won't be searched.</p>
+<p>However, this strategy can also be customized easily from the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/key-syntaxes</span></tt> variable. It is a list of syntax rules, the
+default value is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">("w"</span> <span class="pre">"w_"</span> <span class="pre">"w_."</span> <span class="pre">"^</span> <span class="pre">")</span></tt>. Which means search the
+following thing until found one:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>a word.</li>
+<li>a symbol. In lisp, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">?</span></tt> can all be part of a symbol.</li>
+<li>a sequence of characters of either word, symbol or punctuation.</li>
+<li>a sequence of characters of non-whitespace characters.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>But you'd better keep the default value unless you understand what
+Emacs's syntax rule mean.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="the-condition-system">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id19">The condition system</a></h2>
+<p>I write forked snippet.el to make the smart-snippet.el. I call it
+<em>smart</em>-snippet because a condition can be attached to a snippet. This
+is really a good idea. However, writing condition for a snippet
+usually needs good elisp and Emacs knowledge, so it is strange to many
+user.</p>
+<p>Later I write YASnippet and persuade people to use it instead of
+smart-snippet.el. However, some user still love smart-snippet because
+it is smart. So I make YASnippet smart. Even smarter than
+smart-snippet.el. :p</p>
+<p>Consider this scenario: you are an old Emacs hacker. You like the
+abbrev-way and set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/trigger-key</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(kbd</span> <span class="pre">"SPC")</span></tt>. However,
+you don't want <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">if</span></tt> to be expanded as a snippet when you are typing
+in a comment block or a string (e.g. in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python-mode</span></tt>).</p>
+<p>It's OK, just specify the condition for <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">if</span></tt> to be <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(not</span>
+<span class="pre">(python-in-string/comment))</span></tt>. But how about <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">while</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for</span></tt>,
+etc. ? Writing the same condition for all the snippets is just
+boring. So YASnippet introduce a buffer local variable
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/buffer-local-condition</span></tt>. You can set this variable to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(not</span>
+<span class="pre">(python-in-string/comment))</span></tt> in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python-mode-hook</span></tt>. There's no way
+to do this in smart-snippet.el!</p>
+<p>Then, what if you really want some snippet even in comment? This is
+also possible! But let's stop telling the story and look at the rules:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/buffer-local-condition</span></tt> evaluate to nil, snippet won't be

+<li>If it evaluate to the a cons cell where the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">car</span></tt> is the symbol
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">require-snippet-condition</span></tt> and the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cdr</span></tt> is a symbol (let's
+call it <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">requirement</span></tt>):<ul>
+<li>If the snippet has no condition, then it won't be expanded.</li>
+<li>If the snippet has a condition but evaluate to nil or error
+occured during evaluation, it won't be expanded.</li>
+<li>If the snippet has a condition that evaluate to non-nil (let's
+call it <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">result</span></tt>):<ul>
+<li>If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">requirement</span></tt> is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">t</span></tt>, the snippet is ready to be

+<p>YASnippet will setup a menu just after the <em>Buffers</em> Menu in the

+select manually from the menu, you can expand any snippet. For

+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> buffer by selecting it from the menu:</p>

+<li>There will be no muliple candidates since they are listed in the

+</ul>
+<p>This can be convenient sometimes. However, if you don't like the
+menubar of Emacs and never use it. You can tell YASnippet don't boring
+to build a menu by setting <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/use-menu</span></tt> to nil.</p>
+<p>Another thing to note is that only <em>real</em> modes are listed under the
+menu. As you know, common snippets can be shared by making up a
+<em>virtual</em> parent mode. It's too bad if the menu is floored by those
+<em>virtual</em> modes. So YASnippet only show menus for those <em>real</em>
+modes. But the snippets fo the <em>virtual</em> modes can still be accessed
+through the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parent</span></tt> submenu of some <em>real</em> mode.</p>
+<p>YASnippet use a simple way to check whether a mode is <em>real</em> or
+<em>virtual</em>: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(fboundp</span> <span class="pre">mode)</span></tt>. For example, the symbol <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> is
+bound to a function while <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cc-mode</span></tt> is not. But this is not enough,
+some modes aren't part of Emacs, and maybe when initializing
+YASnippet, those modes haven't been initialized. So YASnippet also
+maintain a list of known modes (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/known-modes</span></tt>). You can add item
+to that list if you need.</p>

+<div class="section" id="expanding-from-elisp-code">
+<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id31">Expanding From Elisp Code</a></h3>
+<p>Sometimes you might want to expand a snippet directly by calling a

+instead of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/expand</span></tt> in this case.</p>
+<p>As with expanding from the menubar, condition system and multiple
+candidates won't exists here. In fact, expanding from menubar has the

+<div class="highlight"><pre>(<span style="color: #19177C">yas/expand-snippet</span> (<span style="color: #19177C">point</span>) (<span style="color: #19177C">point</span>) <span style="color: #19177C">template</span>)
+</pre></div>
+<p>Where <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">template</span></tt> is the template of a snippet. It is never required
+to belong to any snippet -- you can even make up it on the fly. The
+1st and 2nd parameter defines the region to be deleted after YASnippet
+inserted the template. It is used by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/expand</span></tt> to indicate the
+region of the key. There's usually no need to delete any region when
+we are expanding a snippet from elisp code, so passing two <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(point)</span></tt>
+is fine. Note only <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(point)</span></tt> will be fine because the 1st parameter
+also indicate where to insert and expand the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">template</span></tt>.</p>

+<p>They 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 <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt> to calculate the header file guard dynamically:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>#ifndef ${1:_`(upcase (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name))))`_H_}

+<p>From version 0.6.0, snippets expansions are run with some special

+can therefore define a snippet like:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>for ($1;$2;$3) {
+ `yas/selected-text`$0

+</pre></div>
+<p>to "wrap" the selected region inside your recently inserted

+<div class="section" id="placeholder-fields">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id36">Placeholder fields</a></h2>
+<p>Tab stops can have default values -- a.k.a placeholders. The syntax is
+like this:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>${N:default value}
+</pre></div>
+<p>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

+<div class="highlight"><pre>\begin{${1:enumerate}}
+ $0
+\end{$1}
+</pre></div>
+<p>When you type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"document"</span></tt> at <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${1:enumerate}</span></tt>, the word
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"document"</span></tt> will also be inserted at <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">\end{$1}</span></tt>. The best

+<p>The tab stops with the same number to the field act as its mirrors. If

+<div class="section" id="mirrors-with-transformations">

+<p>If the default value of a field starts with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt>, then it is interpreted
+as the transformation code instead of default value. A transformation
+is some arbitrary elisp code that will get evaluated in an environment
+when the variable text is bind to the inputted text of the
+field. Here's an example for Objective-C:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>- (${1:id})${2:foo}
+{
+ return $2;
+}
+
+- (void)set${2:$(capitalize text)}:($1)aValue
+{
+ [$2 autorelease];
+ $2 = [aValue retain];
+}
+$0
+</pre></div>
+<p>Look at <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${2:$(capitalize</span> <span class="pre">text)}</span></tt>, it is a transformation instead of
+a placeholder. The actual placeholder is at the first line:
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${2:foo}</span></tt>. When you type text in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${2:foo}</span></tt>, the transformation
+will be evaluated and the result will be placed there as the
+transformated 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.</p>
+<p>Another example is for <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rst-mode</span></tt>. 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</p>

+<p>The syntax is also a tiny bit different, so that the parser can
+distinguish between fields and mirrors. In the following example</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>#define "${1:mydefine$(upcase yas/text)}"
+</pre></div>
+<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mydefine</span></tt> gets automatically upcased to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MYDEFINE</span></tt> once you enter
+the field. As you type text, it gets filtered through the
+transformation every time.</p>
+<p>Note that this is differentiated from a mirror with a transformation
+by the existance of extra text between the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:</span></tt> and the
+transformation's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt>. If you don't want this extra-text, you can use
+two <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt>'s instead.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>#define "${1:$$(upcase yas/text)}"
+</pre></div>
+<p>Please note that as soon as a transformation takes place, it changes
+the value of the field and sets it its internal modification state to
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">true</span></tt>. As a consequence, the auto-deletion behaviour of normal
+fields does not take place. This is by design.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="choosing-fields-value-from-a-list">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id40">Choosing fields value from a list</a></h2>
+<p>As mentioned, the field transformation is invoked just after you enter
+the field, and with some useful variables bound, notably
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/field-modified-p</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/moving-away-p</span></tt>. Because of this
+feature you can place a transformation in the primary field that lets
+you select default values for it.</p>
+<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/choose-value</span></tt> does this work for you. For example:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre><div align="${2:$$(yas/choose-value '("right" "center" "left"))}">
+ $0
+</div>
+</pre></div>
+<p>See the definition of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/choose-value</span></tt> to see how it was written
+using the two variables. Also check out <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/verify-value</span></tt> for
+another neat trick.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="nested-placeholder-fields">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id41">Nested placeholder fields</a></h2>
+<p>From version 0.6 on, you can also have nested placeholders of the type:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre><div${1: id="${2:some_id}"}>$0</div>
+</pre></div>
+<p>This allows you to choose if you want to give this <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">div</span></tt> an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">id</span></tt>
+attribute. If you tab forward after expanding it will let you change
+"some_id" to whatever you like. Alternatively, you can just press
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-d</span></tt> (which executes <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/skip-and-clear-or-delete-char</span></tt>) and go
+straight to the exit marker.</p>
+<p>By the way, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-d</span></tt> will only clear the field if you cursor is at the
+beginning of the field <em>and</em> it hasn't been changed yet. Otherwise, it
+performs the normal Emacs <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">delete-char</span></tt> command.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="indenting">
+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id42">Indenting</a></h2>
+<p>Many people miss the indenting feature of smart-snippet: when you
+place a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$></span></tt> in your snippet, an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(indent-according-to-mode)</span></tt> will
+be executed there to indent the line. So you'll not need to hard-code
+the indenting in the snippet template, and it will be very convenient
+when you need to work with several different project where coding
+styles are different.</p>
+<p>The reason why this feature wasn't added to YASnippet until after
+0.5.6 is that it doesn't work well for all modes. In some cases
+(e.g. python-mode), calling <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indent-according-to-mode</span></tt> will break
+the overlays created by YASnippet.</p>
+<p>However, since many people asked for this feature, I finally added
+this to YASnippet. Here's an example of the usage:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>for (${int i = 0}; ${i < 10}; ${++i})
+{$>
+$0$>
+}$>
+</pre></div>
+<p>In 0.6.0 You should <strong>not</strong> need to use this feature although it's
+supported for backward compatibility. Just set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/indent-line</span></tt> to
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'auto</span></tt>.</p>
