Information source on "live-templates"

Is there any information source how to properly use "live-templates" inside
Idea. I don't completely understand how to properly specify user variable
and there is no documentation on the predefined variables. Can anybody point
me any scenario:
1. How to create a template with variables ?
2. How to properly use it inside the code ?
3. Are there any advanced use-cases ?

Paul,

here is a starting point :

1?/ create a new L.T:
if (null == $VAR$) {
$SELECTION$
}

2?/ click on the "Edit variable" button.
3?/ in the edit dialog, right click on empty cells, to display a list of
available functions (see picture attached)

4?/ choose
variableOfType("")


For more examples, look on the twiki :

Alain

And then, select some code in editor and press CtrlAltJ (Surround With
Live Template - just because $SELECTION$ var is defined. If not - type the
template abbreviation and press Tab).

Thanks a lot for all answers

Paul!

You are probably using the EAP build of IDEA that is not supplied with the
documentation.
If you take version 2.5 - 2.6 you will find a detailed description of Live
Templates in the corresponding help section.
It would only not cover the "Surround With" template and some other
peculiarities that are specific for the Ariadna project (that to be IDEA
version 3.0 in the future).
