InsertSnippet for Xinha

# InsertSnippet2 for Xinha

Insert HTML fragments or template variables in your document.

## Features

- Categorization to organize your snippets if you have a lot (optional)
- Search for name
- Insert as literal text/html or variable (optional)
- XML data format

## Usage

In order to use your own snippets you have to add a parameter to your xinha_config:

    xinha_config.InsertSnippet2.snippets = "/path/to/your/snippets.xml";

This path should point to a XML file that has the following format:

    <snXML>
     <categories>
        <c n="the name" />
      </categories>
      <snippets>
            <s n="the name" v="optional variable name to be inserted" c="the category">
                &lt;p&gt;some text or HTML, please entize HTML tags&lt;/p&gt;
            </s>
            <s n="another">
                <![CDATA[
                   <p>or put HTML in a CDATA section</p>
                ]]>
            </s>
      </snipptes>
    </snXML>

### Tags

<snXML></snXML>
  The root tag
<categories></categories>
  This tag contains the categories (optional)
<c />
  Each category
<snippets></snippets>
  This tag contains the actual snippet. As this is XML, you cannot put HTML here literally. You have to either entize the <,>, and & characters or wrap the contents in a CDATA section

### Attributes

n
  The name of one snippet or category. It is obligatory for both.
v
  If this attribute is present in a snippet tag, there is a button in the UI that allows to insert this variable instead of the textual content of the snippet.
c
  The category

Inside the plugin's directory, there is a sample XML file and PHP script that shows how to create the XML dynamically.
