```

{cursor}

  ```

  ```

  

    {cursor}

  

  ```


### Parsing

* `##noparse` header in snippet to not parse/execute the snippet.

    ```

    ##noparse

    date --date="$(date +%F) -1 month" +%F

    ```

* directly execute command begining by `$`

* execute bash script in `$snippets_directory/scripts`

* copy script content when selection is selected by CTRL+Return, exemple:

  - with the following snippet: `$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mm%S)`
