This may have been answered before and I didn't see it. Is there a reason that the snippets variables/values (not sure what they're called) can only go to 9?

I would guess the main reason it is the way it is might be that it might be easier to implement, and it did not seem likely that more variables would be needed. I can't possibly imagine using more than 5 variables, most of the snippets I use have 2-3 variables. Can you give us an example where you would like to have more than 9 variables?

Well, I've been doing some formatting from a PDF to HTML. The data is going into a table. The table has 3 rows and 4 columns which right there is 3 more than the built in variables can handle. There are some other PHP instances that I'd like to be able to replicate with multiple variables as well.

Such limit existed in the past, because of the simple parser, but there should no longer be any limit to the number of snippet placeholders/tab stops.

Sorry, just to be clear then, does this mean that even though the instructions current still say 1-9 I can actually go over that number or will this be something added in a later verison?

That's easy to check, and in fact it is the case that it works fine right now.

Since that's the case maybe I could request a text change in the snippet window to reflect this? ;^)
Thanks Allan and Charilaos.

Suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind it needs to be short and to the point! :)
