As Nick mentioned it isn't really possible at the moment. But it would
be a good reason for another plugin ;-).

As a workaround, admittedly a bit ugly, you could use an auto
completion for this. Again, this is ugly and should be only used for
temporary usage.

Please read http://geany.uvena.de/manual/ch03s05.html#editing_cc for
general usage of custom auto completions.
Then open the file ~/.geany/autocompletions.conf and find the default
section. Add a line like the following one:
news=18.07.2007 - enrico - Test subject\nThis is an example news entry
without any content.\nEdit this as needed.

All the above must be in one line. After Geany was restarted you can
type "news" and after pressing TAB Geany will replace news with the
text defined for the news key.

Regards,
Enrico
