Re: [h-e-w] Template creation

[Jerome BESNARD]

I think you should use the (P ....) construct from the tempo package, with
the (s ....) if you need to reuse the placeholder.
This will make a prompt for the user.
Or if you need something more complex, you can always make some lisp code...

For example (stolen from matlab.el...)

(tempo-define-template
 "matlab-function"
 '("function "
   (P "output argument(s): " output t)
   ;; Insert brackets only if there is more than one output argument
   (if (string-match "," (tempo-lookup-named 'output))
           '(l "[" (s output) "]")
         '(l (s output)))
   ;; Insert equal sign only if there is output argument(s)
   (if (= 0 (length (tempo-lookup-named 'output))) nil
         " = ")
   ;; The name of a function, as defined in the first line, should
   ;; be the same as the name of the file without .m extension
   (if (= 1 (count-lines 1 (point)))
           (tempo-save-named
                'fname
                (file-name-nondirectory (file-name-sans-extension
                                                                 
(buffer-file-name))))
         '(l (P "function name: " fname t)))
   (tempo-lookup-named 'fname)
   "("  (P "input argument(s): ") ")" n
   "% " (upcase (tempo-lookup-named 'fname)) " - " (P "H1 line: ") n
   "%   " p n)
 "function"
 "Insert a Matlab function statement"
 'matlab-tempo-tags
 )

Hope this helps.
