Hi folks.

Does anyone know where I can find a syntax description and the usage rules of all keywords which appear in the source code templates ? And those which do not appear as well ;-)
Basically I did find the file "..\lazarus\ide\lazarus_dci_file.dci" and it already gives some self explanatory rules.
My purpose is to enriche as much as possible with code snippets that I use very often

Thanks a lot.

Antonio.

Have you tried "Insert Macro" In the code-template editor window ("Tools" Menu) ?

It lists them all + description

I would say that the Lazarus .dci file you mention is illuminating but not definitive, since Lazarus is derivative, based on the Free Pascal dialect. For that the most concise description of keywords etc. is the published Language Reference Guide documentation ://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/docs-pdf/ref.pdf

Also the language is (slowly) evolving through all the Delphi innovations, for-in loop notation, generics etc.

Martin, can you elaborate how the "param" macro works? The description is looks a bit confusing:
?
Inserts an editable Cell, with a default value
"",Sync=n (,S=n), to Sync with a previous cell (n=1 to highest prev cell "default",Sync, to Sync with a previous cell of equal default ?

Yes, absolutely. I did see it without using bacause a lack of how to use them.
I've tried a little bit and it looks OK.
Thanks

I'm OK with Pascal language. Little misunderstanding I guess

Got it. Very simple.

Tahnks Martin. I deducted looking at some code snippets. Sounds much more clear now.
Thanks
