| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| This module supports several forms of parameter, variable, array parameter and array variable declarations. The generated code behaves like editor code templates. After modifying the code template parameters, type "Enter" to escape the code template parameter editing mode--the caret will be positioned at the location for the next code. It's all about productivity!</p> |
