Hi Mark,
It mostly works for me.
I just made the following test snippet:
,----[ test ]
| #name : #+test
| # --
| * $1
| First thing
| ** $2
| Second thing
| *** $3
| Third Thing
| *** $4
| Fourth thing
| ** $5
| Fifth thing
| Done.
| $0
`----
and typing 'testTAB' and repeatedly hitting TAB and entering data gave
me this output
,----
| * one
| First thing
| ** two
| Second thing
| *** three
| Third Thing
| *** four
| Fourth thing
| ** five
| Fifth thing
| Done.
| six
`----
I have the following setup for yasnippets - it's not perfect (because it
messes up forward TAB in tables) but it is working pretty well -- good
enough that I don't want to go back to not using yasnippets :)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda ()
;; yasnippet
(make-variable-buffer-local 'yas/trigger-key)
(setq yas/trigger-key [tab])
(define-key yas/keymap [tab] 'yas/next-field-group)
(flyspell-mode 1)))
(require 'yasnippet)
(yas/initialize)
(yas/load-directory "~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet/snippets")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH,
Bernt
