Is it possible to create a default comment header template in R for all new scripts?
I generally include some standard info at the top of all my scripts and would like
Following the suggestion from @lmo above, I created two new code snippets in RStudio by editing the snippets file located at Preferences > Code > Edit Snippets
Note: Code below the snippet definition must be indented using tab and not two spaces
Snippet 1: Comment header for new scripts
snippet header_script
##################################################
## Project:
## Script purpose:
## Date:
## Author:
##################################################
Snippet 2: Comment header for sections of code within a script:
snippet header_section
## Section:
##################################################
Now, whenever I want to insert a given header, I just start typing the snippet name (e.g. header_script
), select it from the autocomplete menu (do not type out in full), and hit enter to insert the comment header.
