Question

Possible Duplicate:
Notepad++ code snippets manager

I realize that Notepad++ is not an IDE but there might be plugins that may emulate this functionality. I know there is a auto complete function in Notepad++ but I am looking for something that can be customized.

I can’t remember the exact term, but what I am referring to is:

For example if I write php in Notepad++/or some other IDE will replace it with

<?php

?>

So my question is

What is the terminology for that?

Is there a plugin for Notepad++?

Which Editors/IDE’s support this functionality?

Sorry if this been asked before but I can’t remember the exact term so I can’t search for it.

As pointed out in the comments, they’re often called code snippets, and you’ll find good support for these in the SnippetPlus plugin.
