organized, see Organizing Templates .
2. Create or edit a code file (e.g.
*.cpp
,
*.java
, etc.). Replace occurrences of substitutable text with
substitution parameter names. For example, you might want to make the name of a C++ or Java class
into a substitution parameter, in which case you could use the
$safeitemname$ substitution paramet-
er. For more information on substitution parameters, see Substitution Parameters .
3. Create an XML file and give it an extension of
.setemplate
.
4. Insert template metadata into the
.setemplate
file. See the example below. For more information on
template metadata elements, see Code Template Metadata File Reference .
5. Create a new project or open an existing one.
6. From the main menu, click File
→
New Item from SlickEdit Template .
7. Verify that your new template item appears in the Templates list on the Add New Item dialog box.
Example
The following example illustrates the metadata for an item template for a custom Java class, along with
the content of the Java source code file.
From the Add New Item dialog box, if the user entered
Foo.java
for the item name, then
$fileinputname$ would be replaced with "Foo" in the file name of the file created, and $safeitemname$
would be replaced with "Foo" in the Java source code file.
