Final caret position

Hotspots are triggered from left to right and from top to bottom. Sometimes you may want to control where the final caret locates. Simply put $[0[]0] inside your snippet to indicate this "Final Caret position":

For example,

Snippet Content:

<article>
    <header>
        $[![Some Header Text]!]
    </header>
    <p>$[0[]0]</p>

     <footer>
        $[![Some Footer Text]!]
    </footer>
</article>

In this snippet, there are 2 hotspots. When you trigger the snippet, the first hotspot $[![Some Header Text]!] will be triggered first. The text become

<article>
    <header>
        Some Header Text
    </header>
    <p>$[0[]0]</p>

    <footer>
        $[![Some Footer Text]!]
    </footer>
</article>

Suppose you hit [tab] to accept the default value for $[![Some Header Text]!], the second hotspot $[![Some Footer Text]!] will be triggered.

<article>
    <header>
        Some Header Text
    </header>
    <p>$[0[]0]</p>
     <footer>
        Some Footer Text
    </footer>
</article>

Hit [tab] again, as there is no hotspot in the snippet anymore, The caret will go to the Final Caret Position $[0[]0] at the <p> tag.

There is no need to specify $[0[]0] if you do not want to. However, it is important that there should NOT be more than one "Final Caret Position" $[0[]0] in any snippet.
