Hi,
I just started creating my own snippets, and was wondering if it's possible to write 'recursive' snippets. Let me give an example: say I use the banner snippet from the source bundle:
// ========== // = Banner = // ==========
I'm currently in the $1 tab, and instead of 'Banner', I want to use another snippet, triggered by base<TAB> and which will extend into, say, "All your base are belong to us".
// ======== // = base = // ========
<TAB>
// ================================== // = All your base are belong to us = // ==================================
Once this second snippet is completed, I then go back to the first one, where I left it. This far, I haven't found such a nested scopes option in the snippet syntax, but since I'm a newb I may have missed it. If this feature really isn't available, I think it'd be a valuable addition (even though the example I gave is completely phony). We could imagine a special syntax indicating wether the current tab is in protected mode - as it is now - or if it can be subject to other triggers. For example, $1 and $$1 resp. What do you think of it?
Regards,
Emmanuel

Presently snippets does not support being nested.
