Active4D-ST3 is a Sublime Text 3 package which provides syntax highlighting, snippets and convenience commands for use with Active4D.

## Syntax Highlighting
Full syntax highlighting is provided for the following file types:

* **Embedded scripts (.a4d, .a4p)** – Any Active4D code within `<% %>` tags receives context-aware syntax highlighting. Anything not within `<% %>` tags uses the standard highlighting for HTML files, including `<script>` and `<style>` blocks. Active4D methods and constants declared with 'define' are accessible through the 'Goto Symbol' palette.

* **Libraries (.a4l)** – Context-aware syntax highlighting. Methods and constants declared with 'define' are accessible through the 'Goto Symbol' palette.

* **Active4D.ini** – Syntax highlighting. Options are accessible through the 'Goto Symbol' palette.

## Snippets
Numerous snippets are provided for control structures, commands, and fusedocs. The best way to explore the snippets is by showing the snippet list in ST3 (Tools > Snippets) from within Active4D code.

## Commands
Several commands are available via keyboard equivalents:

* **Insert = block** [super+shift+=] – Inserts the snippet `<%= %>`.

* **Build query** [ctrl+alt+b] – If the beginning of the current selection is on a query/query selection command, a * is added if necessary to the query command and a snippet is inserted on the next line, with the table used in the previous line filled in as the default.

* **Open include** [super+ctrl+alt+i] – If the cursor is within a string, the string is joined to the path of the current file's directory, and if the resulting path is a file, the file is opened. Typically this is used to open the target of an **include** statement.
