Template Data File
------------------
Template editing allows you include commonly-used blocks of code or text
(called 'templates') into the current file with just a few keystrokes.
Templates are selected based on the current file extension, and may
contain program code, text, or even macro expressions.

This data file contains sample AML and C/C++ templates for use with the
TEMPLATE.AML macro, and must be placed in the MACRO subdirectory. You
can easily modify this file for use with other languages or text files.

Templates must be defined in the following format:

template_keyword.extensions [lines_in_the_template]
[template data]
[template data]
:
:

The template keyword must begin in column one. [lines_in_the_template]
is only required when the template data contains blank lines, otherwise
the template data is delimited by the next blank line. A '\c' in the
template data indicates the position in the template where the cursor
should be placed when the template is used. For example:

// if-then-end
if.aml
if \c then
end

To use a template, type in the template keyword and press the template
expansion key ( is the default). The template macro will select
the appropriate template from this file, based on the extension of the
file you are editing.

Templates defined in TEMPLATE.DAT with an extension of '.' (no
extension) are active in files with any extension. For example:

// the 'etc' template works in any file:
etc.
et cetera

Templates can also be enabled for multiple file extensions by listing
each extension after the template keyword. For example:

// the 'struct' template is enabled in .C, .CPP, and .H files:
struct.c.cpp.h
typedef struct {
} \c;

Macro expressions may be also be embedded within a template. When a
template containing macro expressions is used, each macro expression in
the template will be evaluated and replaced with its value. Embedded
expressions must be entered in the following format: \{expression}.
For example: The date and time is \{gettime + getdate}
