WebStorm 6.0.1 Web Help

You can expand Zen Coding templates with your own live templates.

Suppose you have a template entry with the following template text: 

<entry type="$TYPES$">$END$ <entry>
To generate a list of entries, you just need to type “entry-list<entry[number=$]*5″ and press TABTAB. By default, the number attribute will be generated before type. To customize the position where it is generated, you need to add the ATTRS variable to your template, for example: 
<entry type="$TYPES$" $ATTRS$>$END$ <entry>
The ATTRS variable must have an empty string as the default value and should be skipped.

To expand a zen coding template with a user-defined template
  1. In the IDE settings, open the Live Templates page, and expand the Zen Coding template group.
  2. Select the template to expand. The focus moves to the Template Text area where the fields show the settings of the selected template.
  3. In the Template Text field, add the required text and variables to the template body.
  4. Click the Edit Variables button. In the Edit Template Variables dialog box that opens, specify the default variable values in the Default value field and select the Skip if defined check box, where necessary.
