welcome back to emacs rocks
it's episode six
and today we're gonna look at yasnippets
it's pretty much a port from TextMate, except ...
*even more rocking!*
like TextMate snippets you can expand a mnemonic shortcut
you also get placeholders
and like TextMate you can mirror fields
and even transform them
check this out
it strips off the directory
and even camelCases the var for me
so, TextMate can do all this
it even looks a lot like TextMate,
you've got placeholders and stops
but check out this mirror field
I've embedded lisp directly into the snippet
it strips off the directory
it camel cases
here, TextMate uses *regular expressions*
with yasnippets, you get the power
and the functional fingerlickingly good lispness with your snippets
nice!
so let's see that again
hah, sweet
