autotype: Skeletons as Abbrevs

 
 3 Skeletons as Abbrev Expansions
 ********************************
 
 Rather than use a key binding for every skeleton command, you can also
 define an abbreviation ((emacs)Defining Abbrevs) that will
 expand ((emacs)Expanding Abbrevs) into the skeleton.
 
    Say you want ‘ifst’ to be an abbreviation for the C language if
 statement.  You will tell Emacs that ‘ifst’ expands to the empty string
 and then calls the skeleton command.  In Emacs Lisp you can say
 something like ‘(define-abbrev c-mode-abbrev-table "ifst" "" 'c-if)’.
 Or you can edit the output from ‘M-x list-abbrevs’ to make it look like
 this:
 
      (c-mode-abbrev-table)
      "ifst"           0    ""         c-if
 
 (Some blank lines of no semantic significance, and other abbrev tables,
 have been omitted.)
