Creating Code Constructs Using Surround Templates
With AppCode's
surround templates,
you can quickly enclose an expression, a single statement, or an arbitrary block of code with
if...else,
@try...@catch or other code constructs, block comments, tags, etc.
As the template expands, AppCode
intelligently reformats the code, adjusts the selection, and/or repositions the caret in the end so that
you could continue typing from a handy position.

- The caret rests within the opening one. On typing the tag name in the opening tag, the name is
automatically reproduced in the closing tag:
