Revise nested match examples in basics.md#125
Conversation
Updated nested match examples better explain and demonstrate the feature. The current example works but undersells the feature: the sub-match is only used once, so there is no apparent reason to nest rather than just write the word directly. The following example nests the same sub-match in two parent matches, making the core benefit clear: define content once, reuse it everywhere, and update it in one place.

@drkvetta is attempting to deploy a commit to the Federico Terzi's projects Team on Vercel. A member of the Team first needs to authorize it. |

I am new to both espanso and github. Recently started using espanso. I worked through the documentation I thought this section could be improved. So consider this or something similar to better explain this feature. Thanks |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you for your contribution.
I agree the nested matches section is brief, and perhaps undersells the feature, although it's a minor, and little-used option that in most cases would be replaced by a global variable anyway. I don't think the section is misleading, however, is it? I try to avoid the documentation becoming more verbose than necessary.
We could simply replace "…another one." in the text with "…one or more others." or something like that?

Thank you. No, nothing misleading. Yes, your substitute wording would improve it. |
