 <h1 class="topictitle1">Editing snippet items</h1>


 <div>
 <div class="section"> To modify an existing item in a Snippets drawer, complete the steps
 listed below. If you have just completed the task <a href="tsrcedt015.html">Adding an item to a snippets drawer</a> and the <span class="wintitle">Customize
 Palette</span> window is still open, you can skip steps 1 and 2.</div>

 <ol>
 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Snippets view, right-click the name of the item that you
 want to modify, and select <span class="uicontrol">Customize</span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Optionally, type a new name and a new description for the item.</span>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>To declare a variable, click <span class="uicontrol">New</span> and type
 the variable's name, description, and default value.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>To edit an existing variable, type over the existing values.</span>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>To edit the <span class="uicontrol">Template Pattern</span> field, type
 into the field, cut and paste into the field, or, if you have defined one
 or more variables, click the <span class="uicontrol">Insert Variable Placeholder</span> button,
 and double-click the name of the variable that you want to insert.</span> For
 example, if you have declare variables named <var class="varname">uri</var> and <var class="varname">prefix</var>,
 clicking the button brings up a menu that contains those names. Double-clicking <var class="varname">uri</var> inserts <samp class="codeph">${uri}</samp>,
 as in the following example:<pre>&lt;%@ taglib uri="${uri}" prefix="${prefix}" %&gt;</pre>

  Later, when you insert the snippet into a file, <samp class="codeph">${uri}</samp> and <samp class="codeph">${prefix}</samp> are
 each converted to the default value declared in the Variables table. Users
 can replace the default values in the <span class="uicontrol">Insert Template:</span><var class="varname">Item_name</var> dialog
 at insertion time.</li>

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

 </ol>

 <div class="section">The modified item will be added to the list of items in the appropriate
 drawer.</div>
