Snipmate & UltiSnip Snippets
============================
This repository contains snippets files for various programming languages.
2013-04-26 12:17:22 -04:00
It is community-maintained and many people have contributed snippet files and
other improvements already.
Contents
========
snippets/*: snippets using snipmate format
UltiSnips/*: snippets using UltiSnips format
Snippet engines
===============
There are different forks of snippet engines which allow the user to insert
sippets by typing the name of a snippet hitting the expansion mapping.
garbas/vim-snipmate [4]:
VimL, snipmate-snippets, engine sometimes behaves strange, supports
rewriting snippets on the fly (eg adding a second version with folding
markers)
MarcWeber/UltiSnips [6]:
python, snipmate-snippets and UltiSnips-snippets
SirVer/ultisnips [7]:
python, UltiSnips-snippets
github.com/Shougo/neosnippet [5]:
viml, has a compatible mode allowing to reuse most snipmate snippets ?
XPTemplate:
totally different syntax, does not read snippets contained in this file,
but it is also very powerful
... there are some more, but they have less features which is why I don't
mention them here
UltiSnips engine has additional features such as "nested snippets".
Which one to use? If you have python give MarcWeber/UltiSnips a try because its
fast and supports all important features. You can prefer the UltiSnip versions
of the snippets by setting the "always_use_first_snippet" option to 1.
If you have VimL only (vim without python support) your best option is using
garbas/vim-snipmate and cope with the minor bugs found in the engine.
Related repositories
====================
We also encourage people to maintain sets of snippets for particular use cases
so that all users can benefit from them. People can list their snippet repositories here:
* https://github.com/rbonvall/snipmate-snippets-bib (snippets for BibTeX files)
* https://github.com/sudar/vim-arduino-snippets (snippets for Arduino files)
* https://github.com/zedr/zope-snipmate-bundle.git (snippets for Python, TAL and ZCML)
* https://github.com/bonsaiben/bootstrap-snippets (snippets for Twitter Bootstrap markup, in HTML and Haml)

Historical notes
================
[vim-snipmate][1] was originally started by [Michael Sanders][2] who has now
unfortunately abandoned the project. [Rok Garbas][3] is now maintaining a
[fork][4] of the project in hopes of improving the existing code base.

Contributing notes
------------------
Until further work is done on `vim-snipmate`, please don't add folding markers
into snippets. `vim-snipmate` has some comments about how to patch all snippets
on the fly adding those.
Because MarcWeber/UltiSnips [6] supports also snipmate-snippets there is no
need to duplicate all snippets - only those snippets who use advanced UltiSnips
features should be duplicated in UltiSnips (?)
Currently all snippets from UltiSnips have been put into UltiSnips - some work
on merging should be done (dropping duplicates etc)
