TextExpander: Customizable Typing Utility Saves Time! (TextExpander snippets)

TextExpander nerds, rejoice! Your friends at Smile on My Mac have added a couple new snippet sets that can be imported into our favorite keystroke-saving preference pane.

The HTML Code Snippet File adds "over 60 common HTML tags and special character codes" to your collection. So by typing, say, ",h2", you can generate a matched pair of <H2> tags, while typing ",span" will generate "<span id="%|" class=""></span>" (where "%|" equals your cursor), so you can quickly style a string of text. I can see where these will really come in handy for generating HTML outside a text editor -- especially when you have to do a bit of quick markup in a web page's textarea.

Second, you can now download a file that includes both the new HTML Snippets as well as the previously mentioned AutoCorrect Snippet File (which will automagically fix a bunch of the most common typos on the fly and in any program). If you're a geek who's new to the magic of TextExpander, installing this file can have a pretty profound effect on your typing productivity, I assure you.

One of my favorite time-saving tools. Do check it out.
