Escape % char in user macros

[Tobi]

HI,

I want to create a new user macro that inserts the following code

%    \begin{macrocode}
CODE
%    \end{macrocode}
%END

Where CODE and END are accessible with ctrl+left/right. This is what I’ve got so far

    \begin{macrocode}
%<CODE%>
%    \end{macrocode}
% %<END%>

But how can I add the % in the first line – if I do it the macro becomes the environment type – and how can I remove the space before END?

Thanks,
Tobi

You can use %% to escape a %

But it won't work for the first character.

You could only put a space before it, or write a script calling some write functins

Hi (sorry for the delays reply), but with a script I can’t write those active %<x%> areas, can I?

With a normal macro (i.e. just inserting text) you can do:

\foo{%<x%>}

Within a script you can do the following:

%SCRIPT
editorView.insertMacro('\\foo{%<bar%>}')
