Fragment Editor

Currently we are significantly expanding the fragments collection. You can also define your own fragments with the fragment editor. A fragment looks like a piece of code, but the variables are replaced by markers with parameter specification that looks like:

{Type:Name:DefaultValue}. Name and DefaultValue are optional.

These markers can easily created by double-clicking on the appropriate one in the list box on the right. Most common is using {VARIABLE} or {VARIABLE:NAMED}. Other markers like {AUTHOR} or {DATE} obtain their values from either the Settings or a built-in function.

Position markers like <end_of_top> and <begin_of_bottom> can be used to distribute code in one fragment over different parts in a procedure: as part of the declaration section, at the end of a procedure (close actions). <cursor> is used to indicate where the cursor is to be after the fragment has been inserted.
