INTRODUCTION                                        *template-vim-introduction*

|Template| is easy way to coding.

 * Choose template for the filetype
 * Few typings.
 * Flexible customization.

==============================================================================
INSTALL                                                  *template-vim-install*

Install the distributed files into Vim runtime directory which is usually
~/.vim/, or $HOME/vimfiles on Windows.

If you install pathogen that provided from Tim Pope, you should extract the
file into 'bundle' directory.

==============================================================================
TUTORIAL                                                *template-vim-tutorial*

For example, you are writing C++ file.

1. Create main function

  Open new C++ file, and type following.
>
  :Template boost-main
<
  Then you can see following.
>
  #include <iostream>
  #include <string>
  #include <boost/foreach.hpp>

  int
  main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      _
      return 0;
  }
<
  The cursor is in the position of |_|.

2. Add foreach loop

  Type following.
>
  :Template boost-for
<
  Then you will be asked like following.
>
  variable:
<
  Then type "foo".
>
  #include <iostream>
  #include <string>
  #include <boost/foreach.hpp>

  int
  main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      BOOST_FOREACH(auto x, foo) {
          _
      }
      return 0;
  }
<
3. Add std::cout << xxx << std::endl;
>
  :Template cout
<
  Answer "x" for the question "string:".
>
  #include <iostream>
  #include <string>
  #include <boost/foreach.hpp>
  
  int
  main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      BOOST_FOREACH(auto x, foo) {
          std::cout << x << std::endl;
      }
      return 0;
  }
<
==============================================================================
CUSTOMIZE                                              *template-vim-customize*

You can modify template directory for your-self templates. 
>
  let g:template_vim_template_dir = '/path/to/your/template/directory'
<
==============================================================================
WRITE YOUR TEMPLATE                                *template-vim-writetemplate*

Templates are stored in the directory that "g:template_vim_template_dir"
variable specified. On unix, directory structure is following.
Note that I'm using pathogen-vim.
>
  ~/.vim/bundle/template-vim
      plugin
        template.vim
      doc
        template.txt
      template
        go                             ... filetype go
          base-main.go                   ... base main
          base-package.go                ... base package
          snip-goroutine.go              ... snippet for goroutine
          ...
        perl                           ... filetype perl
          base-package.pl                ... base package
          base-script.pl                 ... base script
          snip-dbi-connect-sqlite.pl     ... snippet for DBI/SQLite
          ...

1. The filename have following rule.

    |[kind]|-|[name]|.|[extension]|

  |[kind]|  'base' or 'snip' should be used.

    'base' is used when buffer is empty.

  |[name]| template name

    Words in the name must join with '-'.

  |[extension]| file name extension like ".c".

    If several extensions are exists in same directory, the first found is used.

2. Template can have some keywords.

  |{{_name_}}|      the filename without extension.

    If you are opening "foo.pl" for perl, {{_name_}} become "foo".

  |{{_cursor_}}|    : cursor position.

    When expanded template, cursor will be moved to there.

  |{{_input_:var}}| : ask the value of "var".

    When expanded template, cursor will be moved to there.

  |{{_expr_:xxx}}|  : expression in vimscript.

    For example: "Current Time:|{{_expr_:strftime('%c')}}|" will be
>
    Current Time: 2011/10/27 20:19:00
<
  |{{_if_:expr;foo;bar}}|  : ternary operator

    For example: When today is saturday,
    "Today is |{{_if_:strftime('%w')%6;OrdinaryDay;Holiday}}|" will be
>
    Today is Holiday
<
