Post Editor

Introduction

Since v2.6.x, JSPWiki's editor textarea has been enhanced with posteditor. [Note] So far, Post-editor is only applicable to non IE users.

Using post-editor you can use the TAB key to insert spacing and indentation in your pages, without losing your focus. Post-editor will automatically keep indentation as you enter new lines. Use Shift+Enter to exit the text-area and jump to the Change Note field.

Post-Editor also support the use of snippets like in TextMate: enter a short keyword, followed by the TAB key to expand it into a convenient snippet of text.

Auto-Indentation

Subsequent lines are automatically indented with previous line. When you select multiple lines and press TAB, all lines are indented.

Snippets with tab completion (on/off)

Predefined keywords are expanded when pressing TAB. E.g. toc+TAB expands to [{TableOfContents }]. See the table below for a list of available snippets.

Sub-Snippets

Depending on the snippet definitions, subsequent tabs will step you through different parts of the snippet for editing. E.g. link+TAB expands to [link text|pagename] ; pressing the TAB key again will allow you to edit the link text and pagename parts of the snippet.

Dynamic snippets

Also dynamic snippets are supported, eg. for entering the current date & time, your signature etc.

Smart Typing Pairs (with separate on/off checkbox in the editor toolbar))

Certain bracket characters ( ", ', (, {, [, [{ ) are automatically paired with their closing counterparts.

You enable the Post-editor by checking the Tab Completion checkbox in the editor toolbar. A separate checkbox is available to activate the Smart Typing Pairs functionality. By default, these checkboxes are off.
