File: expand.el.html
This package defines abbrevs which expand into structured constructs for certain languages. The construct is indented for you, and contains slots for you to fill in other text.
These abbrevs expand only at the end of a line and when not in a comment or a string.
Look at the Sample: section for emacs-lisp, perl and c expand lists.
For example for c-mode, you could declare your abbrev table with :
(defconst c-expand-list
'(("if" "if () {\\n \\n} else {\\n \\n}" (5 10 21))
("ifn" "if () {}" (5 8))
("uns" "unsigned ")
("for" "for(; ; ) {\\n\\n}" (5 7 9 13))
("switch" "switch () {\\n\\n}" (9 13))
("case" "case :\\n\\nbreak;\\n" (6 8 16))
("do" "do {\\n\\n} while ();" (6 16))
("while" "while () {\\n\\n}" (8 12))
("default" "default:\\n\\nbreak;" 10)
("main" "int\\nmain(int argc, char * argv[])\\n{\\n\\n}\\n" 37))
"Expansions for C mode")
and enter Abbrev mode with the following hook :
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(expand-add-abbrevs c-mode-abbrev-table c-expand-list)
(abbrev-mode 1)))
you can also init some post-process hooks :
(add-hook 'expand-expand-hook 'indent-according-to-mode)
(add-hook 'expand-jump-hook 'indent-according-to-mode)
