Module parse_bif_snippet

{:snippet; … :}

Output or set snippet.

{:snippet; name >> ... :} {:* set  *:}
{:snippet; name :}        {:* play *:}

You can use the alias “snip”, this is the same:

{:snip; name >> ... :} {:* set  *:}
{:snip; name :}        {:* play *:}

Note that snippet, although they can be called anywhere, must be defined in a file whose name contains the word “snippet”. An error will occur if an attempt is made to define it elsewhere.

Modifiers:

{:^snippet; ... :}

Flags

{:snippet; {:flg; static :} ... >> ... :}

Flag: static

By default the content of the snippet is parsed when called, with “static” it is parsed when set.

{:snippet; {:flg; static :} snippet-name >>
    {:;varname:}
:}

Therefore, it only works on set.

Usage

The snippet is something like a function, parts of code that you can refer and can contain anything.

Set snippet, no output:

{:snippet; snippet-name >>
    Hello World
:}

Play snippet;

{:snippet; snippet-name :}

Output:

Hello World
