 <h1>Using Templates
  </h1>
 <p>Templates are shortcuts used to insert a pre-defined framework of code
  into your scripts. The purpose is to save time and reduce the potential
  for errors in standard, repetitive code units. Once a template is inserted,
  you can complete the code quickly using manual and automated code entry
  methods.</p>
 <p style="font-weight: bold;">&#160;</p>
 <p style="font-weight: bold;">Requirements:</p>
 <p>A template must be defined in the Templates list in the <a href="templates.htm">Template
  Preferences page</a>, accessed from <span style="font-weight: bold;"><b>Windows
  | Preferences | Templates</b></span>, before it can be used. To learn how
  to create a new template from the Templates Preferences page, see <a href="templates.htm#Adding_new_templates">Adding
  a New Template.</a></p>


 <p>Templates are context sensitive and can be used in HTML, PHP, PHPDOC,
  JavaScript or CSS. The context of the current code being entered defines
  which templates are available. For example, PHP templates are not available
  if your current code is Java.</p>
 <h3>Inserting a Template into Code</h3>
 <p>This procedure describes how to insert a template into your script.</p>
