+ <b>Important:</b> This documentation applies to

+ <div class="section" id="why-is-there-an-extra-newline">
+<h1>Why is there an extra newline?</h1>
+<p>If you have a newline at the end of the snippet definition file, then
+YASnippet will add a newline when you expanding a snippet. Please
+don't add a newline at the end if you don't want it when you saving
+the snippet file.</p>
+<p>Note some editors will automatically add a newline for you. In Emacs,
+if you set <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">require-final-newline</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">t</span></tt>, it will add the final
+newline for you automatically.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="why-doesn-t-tab-expand-a-snippet">
+<h1>Why doesn't TAB expand a snippet?</h1>
+<p>First check the mode line to see if there's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas</span></tt>. If not, then try
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">M-x</span> <span class="pre">yas/minor-mode</span></tt> to manually turn on the minor mode and try to
+expand the snippet again. If it works, then, you can add the following
+code to your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.emacs</span></tt> <em>before</em> loading YASnippet:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>(add-hook &#39;the-major-mode-hook &#39;yas/minor-mode-on)
+</pre></div>
+<p>where <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">the-major-mode</span></tt> is the major mode in which <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/minor-mode</span></tt>
+isn't enabled by default.</p>
+<p>From YASnippet 0.6 you can also use the command <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">M-x</span>
+<span class="pre">yas/global-mode</span></tt> to turn on YASnippet automatically for <em>all</em> major
+modes.</p>
+<p>If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/minor-mode</span></tt> is on but the snippet still not expanded. Then
+try to see what command is bound to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TAB</span></tt> key: press <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-h</span> <span class="pre">k</span></tt>
+and then press <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TAB</span></tt>. Emacs will show you the result.</p>
+<p>You'll see a buffer prompted by Emacs saying that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TAB</span> <span class="pre">runs</span> <span class="pre">the</span>
+<span class="pre">command</span> <span class="pre">...</span></tt>. Alternatively, you might see <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tab&gt;</span> <span class="pre">runs</span> <span class="pre">the</span> <span class="pre">command</span>
+<span class="pre">...</span></tt>, note the difference between <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TAB</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tab&gt;</span></tt> where the
+latter has priority. If you see <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tab&gt;</span></tt> bound to a command other
+than <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/expand</span></tt>, (e.g. in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">org-mode</span></tt>) you can try the following
+code to work around:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>(add-hook &#39;org-mode-hook
+ (let ((original-command (lookup-key org-mode-map [tab])))
+ `(lambda ()
+ (setq yas/fallback-behavior
+ &#39;(apply ,original-command))
+ (local-set-key [tab] &#39;yas/expand))))
+</pre></div>
+<p>replace <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">org-mode-hook</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">org-mode-map</span></tt> with the major mode
+hook you are dealing with (Use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-h</span> <span class="pre">m</span></tt> to see what major mode you
+are in).</p>
+<p>As an alternative, you can also try</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>(defun yas/advise-indent-function (function-symbol)
+ (eval `(defadvice ,function-symbol (around yas/try-expand-first activate)
+ ,(format
+ &quot;Try to expand a snippet before point, then call `%s&#39; as usual&quot;
+ function-symbol)
+ (let ((yas/fallback-behavior nil))
+ (unless (and (interactive-p)
+ (yas/expand))
+ ad-do-it)))))
+
+(yas/advise-indent-function &#39;ruby-indent-line)
+</pre></div>
+<p>To <em>advise</em> the modes indentation function bound to TAB, (in this case
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ruby-indent-line</span></tt>) to first try to run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/expand</span></tt>.</p>
+<p>If the output of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-h</span> <span class="pre">k</span> <span class="pre">RET</span> <span class="pre">&lt;tab&gt;</span></tt> tells you that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tab&gt;</span></tt> is
+indeed bound to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/expand</span></tt> but YASnippet still doesn't work, check
+your configuration and you may also ask for help on the <a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet">discussion
+group</a>. See this
+particular <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/issues/detail?id=93&amp;can=1">thread</a> for
+quite some solutions and alternatives.</p>
+<p>Don't forget to attach the information on what command is bound to TAB
+as well as the mode information (Can be obtained by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C-h</span> <span class="pre">m</span></tt>).</p>

+<div class="section" id="why-doesn-t-tab-navigation-work-with-flyspell">
+<h1>Why doesn't TAB navigation work with flyspell</h1>
+<p>A workaround is to inhibit flyspell overlays while the snippet is active:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>(add-hook &#39;flyspell-incorrect-hook
+ #&#39;(lambda (dummy1 dummy2 dymmy3)
+ (and yas/active-field-overlay
+ (overlay-buffer yas/active-field-overlay))))
+</pre></div>
+<p>This is apparently related to overlay priorities. For some reason, the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">keymap</span></tt> property of flyspell's overlays always takes priority over
+the same property in yasnippet's overlays, even if one sets the
+latter's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">priority</span></tt> property to something big. If you know
+emacs-lisp and can solve this problem, drop a line in the <a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/group/smart-snippet">discussion
+group</a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="how-do-i-turn-off-the-minor-mode-where-in-some-buffers">
+<h1>How do I turn off the minor mode where in some buffers</h1>
+<p>The best way, since version 0.6.1c, is to set the default value of the
+variable <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/dont-activate</span></tt> to a lambda function like so:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>(set-default &#39;yas/dont-activate
+ #&#39;(lambda ()
+ (and yas/root-directory
+ (null (yas/get-snippet-tables)))))
+</pre></div>
+<p>This is also the default value starting for that version. It skips the
+minor mode in buffers where it is not applicable (no snippet tables),
+but only once you have setup your yas/root-directory.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="how-do-i-define-an-abbrev-key-containing-characters-not-supported-by-the-filesystem">
+<h1>How do I define an abbrev key containing characters not supported by the filesystem?</h1>
+<dl class="docutils">
+<dt><strong>Note</strong>: This question applies if you're still defining snippets</dt>
+<dd>whose key <em>is</em> the filename. This is behavior stil provided by
+version 0.6 for backward compatibilty, but is somewhat deprecated...</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>For example, you want to define a snippet by the key <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;</span></tt> which is
+not a valid character for filename on Windows. This means you can't
+use the filename as a trigger key in this case.</p>
+<p>You should rather use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#</span> <span class="pre">key:</span></tt> directive to specify the key of
+the defined snippet explicitly and name your snippet with an arbitrary
+valid filename, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lt.yasnippet</span></tt> for example, using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;</span></tt> for the
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#</span> <span class="pre">key:</span></tt> directive:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre>#key: &lt;
+#name: &lt;...&gt;&lt;/...&gt;
