For example, in +<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">c-mode</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bar</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">foo_bar</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"#foo_bar"</span></tt> can all be recognized +as a snippet key. Furthermore, the searching is in that order. In +other words, if <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bar</span></tt> is found to be a key to some <em>valid</em> snippet, +then that snippet is expanded and replaces the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bar</span></tt>. Snippets +pointed to by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">foo_bar</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"#foobar</span></tt> won't be considered.</p> +<p>However, this strategy can also be customized easily from the +<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yas/key-syntaxes</span></tt> variable. It is a list of syntax rules, the +default value is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">("w"</span> <span class="pre">"w_"</span> <span class="pre">"w_."</span> <span class="pre">"^</span> <span class="pre">")</span></tt>. Which means search the +following thing until found one:</p> +<ul class="simple"> +<li>a word.</li> +<li>a symbol. In lisp, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">?</span></tt> can all be part of a symbol.</li> +<li>a sequence of characters of either word, symbol or punctuation.</li> +<li>a sequence of characters of non-whitespace characters.</li> +</ul> +<p>But you'd better keep the default value unless you want to understand +how Emacs's syntax rules work...</p> +</div> +</div> + </div> + </div> + </div> + </div> + </div> +</div> +<script type="text/javascript"> + var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
