Reusable content in templates
Last modified: 10 August 2022Include templates are used to define reusable pieces of code (for example, standard headers, copyright statements, and so on) to be inserted in other templates by means of the #parse
directives.
The #parse
directive has the following syntax:
#parse("<include_template_name.extension>")
For example:
#parse("File Header.java")
Templates that can be referenced in this way in other templates are listed on the Includes tab of the Editor | File and Code Templates page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S.
Create an include template
In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), go to Editor | File and Code Templates.
Open the Includes tab.
Click Create Template
on the toolbar and specify the include template name, extension, and body.
Insert a reusable template into another template
Add the
#parse
directive with the name of the include template that you want to insert. For an example, see template syntax.
