So I recently switched over to Sublime Text 2, loving it so far. One thing I loved about Dreamweaver was its templates feature. I make a lot of large websites for clients and DW’s built-in template system (.dwt files) was fantastic for it. I know Sublime Text 2 has snippets, but do they offer all the dynamic functionalities that the .DWT files do?
I like the snippets feature and the tab trigger options for instantly importing code, but what if I want to control specific elements? For example, say I made a giant navigation bar with sub-navigations for each one and made a snippet out of it. Then I import it into other pages on my site via the tab trigger. Now what if the client wants one of the names for the sub-navigation changed to something else? I’m going to have to change it on every single page, right? Or will just changing it in the snippet file update all the pages?
I’m very used to Dreamweaver’s template system and I’m wondering if Sublime Text 2’s snippets feature is powerful enough to handle that kind of dynamic functionality and whether or not it’s capable of updating one template element across all the pages (that the template is applied to) on the fly.
Any advice/tips/suggestions appreciated.
