+** Snippets
+*** Snippets Preamble
+Snippets are a system by which pieces of code can be inserted via
+prefixes.  For example, an 'if' snippet would work by first inserting
+the word 'if' then pressing some _expansion key_ such as TAB.  This
+will insert a set of text that may be have some components that need
+to be further filled by the user.
+
+The popular solution is Yasnippet.  Yasnippet is a great package for
+snippets, which I use heavily in programming and org-mode.  I setup
+here the global mode for yasnippet and a collection of snippets for
+ease of use.
+
+However, Emacs provides its own 'auto typing' facilities.  Abbrevs and
+skeletons make up the popular solution within Emacs default.  Abbrevs
+are for simple expressions wherein there is only one user input (say,
+getting today's time which only requires you asking for it).  They
+provide a lot of inbuilt functionality and are quite useful.
+Skeletons, on the other hand, are for higher level insertions
