Modifying Surround With Templates
Surround With templates are created and modified the same way as other aliases, with the addition of the
%\m sur_text% escape sequence. This sequence indicates where the selected text should be placed,
and can be used multiple times within a single Surround With template. See Surround With Commands
for more information on sur_text.
To view or modify the Surround With templates, use the surround_with command to display the Sur-
round With dialog, then click the Customize button. This will display the Alias Editor dialog with the Sur-
round With option selected. The list of Surround With structures for the chosen language is shown in the
list box on the left.
