File Template Customization
You can customize file templates through the File Templates dialog shown below. This dialog is
accessible either via the New File dialog shown above or through the Options submenu of the Tools Menu.
With this dialog you can modify add new templates or modify/delete existing templates. Each
template has the following properties:
Name: The name of the template that appears in the New
File dialog
Category: The category under which this template will be listed.
Default Extension: The default extension that will
be added to the filename when a file
based on this template is saved.
Highlighter: The
syntax highlighter that will be used for files based on this template.
Template: The
actual text that will be inserted into new files created from this
template. The template text can contain custom parameters
which are
expanded upon the activation of the template. If the character "|" is
present in the template, after the insertion of the template text, the cursor
is placed at the position of that character and the character is deleted.
