Hello! I am use some snippets for write an archive file.tex. Specifically for environment description, I wrote in snippets.conf archive:
desc=\begin{description}\n\t\item[%cursor%]\n\end{description} the problem is that not replace "desc+<TAB>" for: \begin{description} \item[] \end{description} but replace with: \begin \item[] \end without description environment, but good the position of the cursor.
I do not understand, because I use the same snippets for enumerate environment: enum=\begin{enumerate}\n\t\item %cursor%\n\end{enumerate} except for the brackets: \begin{enumerate} \item \end{enumerate}
Why do not works if is almost similar?
Because the syntax {something} is a wildcard which is substituted by Geany, see https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#template-wildcards but {enumerate} is not a known wildcard so its not replaced, but {description} is so its replaced by its current value (the project description) which seems to be blank in your case.
As the manual says, replace the { by {ob} and the } by {cb} to avoid substitution.
Excellent! works fine, I did not know that detail
Cheers Lex
Thanks a lot!
