 <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding and removing JSP templates</h1>


 <div><p>JSP content assist provides several templates, or chunks of predefined
 code, that you can insert into a file. You can use the default templates as
 provided, customize the default templates, or create your own templates.</p>

 <div class="section"> <p>For example, you may work on a group of JSP pages that should
 all contain a table with a specific appearance. Create a template that contains
 the tags for that table, including the appropriate attributes and attribute
 values for each tag. (You can copy and paste the tags from a structured text
 editor into the template's <span class="uicontrol">Pattern</span> field.) Then select
 the name of the template from a content assist proposal list whenever you
 want to insert your custom table into a JSP file.</p>
 <p>To add a new JSP template,
 complete the following steps:</p>
  </div>

 <ol>
 <li class="stepexpand"><span>From the <span class="uicontrol">Window</span> menu, select <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span>.</span>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Preferences page, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Web and
 XML</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">JSP Files</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">JSP Templates</span>
 </span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">New</span>. </span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Enter the new template name (a text string) and a brief description
 of the template.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Using the <span class="uicontrol">Context</span> drop-down list, specify
 the context in which the template is available in the proposal list when content
 assist is requested.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Pattern</span> field, enter the appropriate
 tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be
 inserted by content assist.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>If you want to insert a variable, click the <span class="uicontrol">Variable</span> button
 and select the variable to be inserted.</span> For example, the <var class="varname">word_selection</var> variable
 indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion,
 and the <var class="varname">cursor</var> variable determines where the cursor will
 be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to save the new template.</span>
 </li>

 </ol>

 <div class="section"><p>You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the
 same Preferences page. If you have modified a default template, you can restore
 it to its default value. You can also restore a removed template if you have
 not exited from the workbench since it was removed.</p>
 <p>If you have a template
 that you do not want to remove but you no longer want the template to appear
 in the content assist list, go to the Templates preferences page and uncheck
 its check box.</p>
