New page

[[Category:Layout tab]]

The '''template list''' is a child window that displays all templates that have been configured in the [[Modify templates]] dialog. You can toggle the output window in the [[:Category:Layout tab|Layout tab]].

Double-clicking a template in the template list will insert it into the active file at the caret position. You can also insert templates via the "Insert template" drop down in the [[:Category:Edit tab|Edit tab]], or coding templates via the "Code template" drop down in the [[:Category:Coding tab|Coding tab]].

Templates are organized in four groups: '''Global''', '''Layout''', '''Language''', and '''Project'''. '''Global''' templates are always available; '''Layout''' templates are only available when the [[Manage layouts|layout]] they're associated with is loaded; '''Language''' templates are associated with languages specified for [[syntax highlighting]] and are only available when editing files with extensions included in the language's [[wordfiles|wordfile]]; and '''Project''' templates are only available when the [[:Category:Project tab|project]] they're associated with is loaded. For more information, see the [[Modify_templates#Template groups|Template groups]] documentation.

==Context menu==

The template list includes the following context menu items:

{|
|'''Modify templates'''
|Opens the [[Modify templates]] dialog.
|-
|'''Open template file'''
|Opens the template group's XML-based template file directly in the editor.
|}

When right-clicking a template within the template list, the following context menu items are available:

{|
|'''Sort alphabetically'''
|Sorts templates alphabetically within active group.
|-
|'''Move up'''
|Moves the selected template up one position in the list.
|-
|'''Move down'''
|Moves the selected template down one position in the list.
|-
|'''Delete template'''
|Deletes the selected template from the list and the associated template file.
|-
|'''Add/modify template'''
|Opens the [[Modify templates]] dialog so the selected template may be edited or new templates added.
|-
|'''Insert template'''
|Inserts the selected template into the active document.
|}

==Template description / tool tip==
You can include a description for a template in the [[Modify templates]] dialog. Template descriptions are limited to 79 characters. If a description is provided, then when the cursor hovers over the template name in the template list, a tool tip will be displayed with the label "Template description" followed by the template's description. If a description hasn't been set, the label "Template extract" will be displayed along with the beginning portion of the template itself.

==Creating templates==
Along with manually creating templates in the [[Modify templates]] dialog, you can also select text in a file and drag this to a template group in the template list to quickly create a template. The newly created template will be given a generic default name which is immediately editable. In order to quickly create templates in this manner, "Disable drag & drop" must be unchecked under [[Settings:Editor:Miscellaneous|Settings » Editor » Miscellaneous]].
