Modifying abbreviations in Zencoding

Question

I use notepad++ with Zen Coding.

I would like to add a new abbreviation

script:jquery17

which does the following

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.js"></script>

Answer 1

If you’re JS version of Zen Coding (downloaded from either https://github.com/sergeche/zen-coding/downloads or http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/downloads/list), you need to open Zen Coding.js file located in NppScripting/includes directory of downloaded archive. There is zen_settings variable on top of it, which describes all available abbreviations and snippets, and add your own.

If you’re using Python version (downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/npppythonscript/files/) you have to find zen_settings.py file in it.
