Snippets are, very simply, pieces of a page that you can use over and over again. A few examples would be an address, a table of data, or a piece of JavaScript. If you find that you are using one element on lots of pages, turn it into a snippet for drag and drop ease of use:
The folder will automatically pop open, and you'll see a new file there called snippet.agls. If the filename isn't highlighted for renaming, press Return/Enter. Call it address.agls (Figure 130). Figure 130. When you create a new snippet, give it a descriptive name.Now follow these steps to complete the process:
Tada! You have successfully created and used a snippet. You can create a snippet out of grids, tables, text, images, and more. If you have a styled table with an image and text, surrounded by additional text, grab the whole kaboodle and save it as one snippet. To modify a snippet, double-click the file in the Library palette, make the changes, and then save the document. The changes will affect only the snippet you've edited, not the pages on which the snippet was already used. |
