Last week Smile released version 2.0 of TextExpander touch, which I really dig. Yesterday Smile gave me five free download codes to give away for the new app. I put the word out on Twitter to send in favorite snippets for codes and got some really great ones. In fact, I got too many and feel bad about leaving some people out but here comes the winners. Thanks everyone for playing along.
1. MultiMarkdown? Yes thank you.
Sayz Lim submitted a MultiMarkdown snippet to maintain a figure tag in MultiMarkdown. One of the things I like about this snippet is the way he uses the same fill-in snippet twice. I do this often too and I'm not sure everyone knows you can do that.
![ [%filltext:name=Figure Caption%][] ](%clipboard)
[%filltext:name=Figure Caption%]: %clipboard
2. Let Me Know
Trent sent in this simple yet useful script.
ppp = Please let me know if you have any questions.
3. The Breakfast Club Special
Reader Oscar is an educator and needs to send out notices for students that get Saturday detention. He uses this in conjection with an AppleScript that pulls a list of names from a Dropbox text file and works its magic.
The following students have zeros in %fillpopup:name=Classname:Physics:Aquatic Science:default=Forensics% for the week of: %@-9D%m/%d/%y:
%fillarea:name=Student Names%
They need to be assigned to Saturday D-hall on %@+3D%m/%d/%y.
4. Testing, Testing
Michael has a snippet that looks very useful for testing stroke victims. It uses pop ups and several other features. This may not be useful to you but I'm betting there is something in your life that would get easier if you made your own snippet like this one.
