When developing software it is often necessary to enter the same text repeatedly, for instance, when typing a function
definition, for loop or a comment block for a function. The High-performance Embedded Workshop editor allows you
to specify a block of text (or template) which can be inserted into the currently active Editor window. Thus, once a
template has been defined, it can be automatically inserted without the need to re-enter it manually.
Figure below shows a list of templates, which is located on the Templates tab of the Workspace window.
Any new templates, which have been added to the High-performance Embedded Workshop, are displayed under the
Templates folder. The Toolchain Templates folder is for templates, which are read only and have been provided for
use in the High-performance Embedded Workshop system by the current toolchain.
Templates in this view can be dragged for insertion into an editor file. It is also possible to drag an area of text from the
editor into the templates folder for quick template creation.
Right-clicking on the Templates folder opens a pop-up menu containing the available options.
