NEWBIE - How to pass parameters/arguments to snippets

hello,

how do i pass parameters/arguments to snippets?

thanks.

[[SnippetName? &parameter=`value` &parameter2=`value2`]]

Or, you can put global parameter in the snippet’s configuration:

&paramname=Param Label;type;value &paramname2=Param2 Label;type;value2

Or put them in an external configuration file (which is itself specified as a snippet parameter, &config=`filename`)

$parameter = "value";
$parameter2 = "value 2";

and the file $filename gets included at the beginning of the snippet code.

In all three cases, the parameter name will become a variable name, and its value will be the parameter’s value. So &paramname will be converted to $paramname for use in the snippet code.

thanks!

Don’t forget to use back-ticks rather than single quotes to mark the parameter values in the snippet call.
