  <p>I realize that Notepad++ is not an IDE but there might be plugins that may emulate this functionality. I know there is a auto complete function in Notepad++ but I am looking for something that can be customized.</p>
  
  <p>I can't remember the exact term, but what I am referring to is: </p>
  
  <p>For example if I write <code>php</code> in Notepad++/or some other IDE will replace it with </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my question is</p>
  
  <p>What is the terminology for that? </p>
  
  <p>Is there a plugin for Notepad++?</p>
  
  <p>Which Editors/IDE's support this functionality?</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this been asked before but I can't remember the exact term so I can't search for it.</p>
