deftemplate

Use the deftemplate command to create instances of a template. Templates are useful when you must include the same text in many places.

You can also use templates to build behavior libraries into projects. Since they are parametric, templates can be shared among different projects.

Platform support

This element is fully supported on XR-Windows, XR-Portable Windows, XR-Portable iOS, XR-Portable Android, and XR-P WASM platforms.

To define a template

1. Include your template code inside a deftemplate tag.

2. Put placeholders with the syntax %placeholder% where you want to parametrize the code.

Note: Placeholders in the template require unique names that do not contain spaces or special characters.
