Does a programmer's "document template" with tags exist for Windows?
auto-generate, language-agnostic, tags, windows
Solution
I don't know about a portable utility, but on Windows, there's a built-in feature that does it.
From `regedit`, go to your `HKCR/.your-extension` (e.g. `HKCR/.php`). the `(Default)` value will contain the filetype class - go to either `HKCR/.your-extension/the-filetype-class` or `HKCR/the-filetype-class` (either will do), then inside create a key named `ShellNew`. In the key, create a string value called `FileName` and assign to it the file path of your template file.
Now all new files with this particular extension will be created containing the contents of your template.
Here's a more detailed tutorial.
Problem
I was wondering (if possible) if there was a program/tool/utility that when I create a new file and provide it with an extension that it creates the appropriate tags automatically? For example, a new file I create called `index.php` would have the appropriate tags auto-generated inside: ``` <?php ?> ``` I hope you get the idea. Any information regarding this would be helpful.
