This is fairly rough at the moment but what it does is allow tokens within abbreviations that you will be prompted to replace. These are based on the following digraphs: <C-K>Cu    -  if you use this token you will be prompted at every occurence                      <C-K>MW  -  you will only be prompted once and every subsequent use                         of this token will be the input you entered. <C-K>TH    -  Place this where you'd like the cursor to end up.                         This is a bit buggy at the moment so any comments                            are welcomed. <C-K><< and >>  -  If you want to provide a message as to what you're                                   replacing use these. The only stipulation is that the                                   message be exactly 15 chars including << and >> <C-K>',    -   Because this plugin uses liblist.vim, commas need to be                      entered using this digraph.                 ***   Requires:  liblist.vim   *** http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=166 The mapping used is <leader>et Reading the script probably explains things better than I'm doing here but here's a few egs. (These are all insert mode by the way) Eg1      type   dic      hit <leader>et      you'll see the prompt  <<   class name  >>      type in foo and hit <CR>      the string   <div class="foo">|</div>   will be inserted with the cursor at the pipe. (this uses the 'Cu','<<>>' and 'TH' digraphs) Eg2      type hd      hit <leader>et      you'll see the prompt  <<header level?>>      type in 2 and hit <CR>      the string <h2>|</h2> will be inserted again with the cursor at the pipe (this uses the 'MW','<<>>' and 'TH' digraphs)     Known issues:     For some reason you can't place the 'TH' digraph at the end of the string. It  executes once OK but then stops. As I'm not a programmer this could more than likely do with a complete overhaul. If anybody would like to help out or make suggestions, email markwoodwardATbigpond.com. I'd appreciate some input as I think the ideas pretty impressive but my executions not ;-)
