Atom snippets to help with TEI encoding for the Ticha Project
Background
Atom's snippets feature allows us to type a short keyword and press tab to expand it into a larger piece of text. This is useful for repetitive tasks like adding long XML tags. Snippets also let us press tab to "fill out" parts of the expanded text kinda like filling out a form.
Install
From inside Atom
- Use the Atom UI to search for and install the package.
- Restart Atom.
From the command line
You can also use Atom's command-line package manager, apm:
apm install ticha-atom-snippets
Usage
Type a snippet's "prefix" (or enough of it that a tooltip comes up showing the green arrow icon) and press tab. The template text will appear and your cursor will change to be selecting some placeholder text in the template. Start typing to replace this text. Then press tab to move to the next area of the template. Repeat until everything looks right. Once you've filled out all areas of the template, pressing tab will jump your cursor to the end of the template.
