| <h1>Templates</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Templates are sections of code that occur frequently enough that you |
| would like to be able to insert them with a few keystrokes. This |
| function is known as <strong>Content Assist</strong>; the sections of |
| code that are inserted are known as <strong>templates</strong>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To insert an existing Content Assist template into a file, such as |
| one for an <strong>if</strong> statement, type the initial character |
| ("<span class="typewriter">i</span>" in this case), then press <strong>Ctrl+Space</strong>. |
| The templates that begin with that character appear. Double-click on |
| a template to insert it into a file. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can edit the existing Content Assist templates or create new |
| ones using the <img src="../images/command_link.png" alt=""> <a |
| class="command-link" |
| href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.cdt.ui.preferences.TemplatePreferencePage)")'>C/C++ |
| > Editor > Templates</a> preference pane. |
