-- Snippets for Textadept.
--
-- ## Overview
--
-- Define snippets in the global `snippets` table in key-value pairs. Each pair
-- consists of either a string trigger word and its snippet text, or a string
-- lexer language (from the *lexers/* directory) with a table of trigger words
-- and snippet texts. When searching for a snippet to insert based on a trigger
-- word, Textadept considers snippets in the current lexer to have priority,
-- followed by the ones in the global table. This means if there are two
-- snippets with the same trigger word, Textadept inserts the one specific to
-- the current lexer, not the global one.
--
-- ## Special Sequences
--
-- ### `%`*n*`(`*text*`)`
--
-- Represents a placeholder, where *n* is an integer and *text* is default
-- placeholder text. Textadept moves the caret to placeholders in numeric order
-- each time it calls [`textadept.snippets._insert()`](), finishing at either
-- the "%0" placeholder if it exists or at the end of the snippet. Examples are
--
--     snippets['foo'] = 'foobar%1(baz)'
--     snippets['bar'] = 'start\n\t%0\nend'
--
-- ### `%`*n*`{`*list*`}`
--
-- Also represents a placeholder (where *n* is an integer), but presents a list
-- of choices for placeholder text constructed from comma-separated *list*.
-- Examples are
--
--     snippets['op'] = 'operator(%1(1), %2(1), "%3{add,sub,mul,div}")'
--
-- ### `%`*n*
--
-- Represents a mirror, where *n* is an integer. Mirrors with the same *n* as a
-- placeholder mirror any user input in the placeholder. If no placeholder
-- exists for *n*, the first occurrence of that mirror in the snippet becomes
-- the placeholder, but with no default text. Examples are
--
--     snippets['foo'] = '%1(mirror), %1, on the wall'
--     snippets['q'] = '"%1"'
--
-- ### `%`*n*`<`*Lua code*`>`<br/>`%`*n*`[`*Shell code*`]`
--
-- Represents a transform, where *n* is an integer that has an associated
-- placeholder, *Lua code* is arbitrary Lua code, and *Shell code* is arbitrary
-- Shell code. Textadept executes the code as text is typed into placeholder
-- *n*. If the transform omits *n*, Textadept executes the transform's code the
-- moment the editor inserts the snippet.
--
-- Textadept runs Lua code in its Lua State and replaces the transform with the
-- code's return text. The code may use the temporary `text` and `selected_text`
-- global variables which contain placeholder *n*'s text and the text originally
-- selected when the snippet was inserted, respectively. An example is
--
--     snippets['attr'] = [[
--     %1(int) %2(foo) = %3;
--
--     %1 get%2<text:gsub('^.', function(c) return c:upper() end)>() {
--     	return %2;
--     }
--     void set%2<text:gsub('^.', function(c) return c:upper() end)>(%1 value) {
--     	%2 = value;
--     }
--     ]]
--
-- Textadept executes shell code using Lua's [`io.popen()`][] and replaces the
-- transform with the process' standard output (stdout). The code may use a `%`
-- character to represent placeholder *n*'s text. An example is
--
--     snippets['env'] = '$%1(HOME) = %1[echo $%]'
--
-- ### `%%`
--
-- Stands for a single '%' since '%' by itself has a special meaning in
-- snippets.
--
-- ### `%(`<br/>`%{`
--
-- Stands for a single '(' or '{', respectively, after a `%`*n* mirror.
-- Otherwise, the mirror would be interpreted as a placeholder or transform.
-- Note: it is currently not possible to escape a '<' or '[' immediately after
-- a `%`*n* mirror due to `%<...>` and `%[...]` sequences being interpreted as
-- code to execute.
--
-- ### `\t`
--
-- A single unit of indentation based on the buffer's indentation settings
-- ([`buffer.use_tabs`]() and [`buffer.tab_width`]()).
--
-- ### `\n`
--
-- A single set of line ending delimiters based on the buffer's end of line mode
-- ([`buffer.eol_mode`]()).
--
-- [`io.popen()`]: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#pdf-io.popen
