Experts,<br />
I'm writing a page for doctors and nurses to enter some notes about a recent patient visit. &nbsp;While we initially though we could use drop down boxes to help automate the population of text boxes, the users (clinical staff) are asking if &quot;short codes&quot; are a possibility. &nbsp;I guess this would be similar to how WordPress uses short codes.<br />
<br />
For example: &nbsp;In the large text box that says &quot;Diet Recommendations&quot;, instead of typing this paragraph 20 times a day:<br />
&quot;Patient should follow a low-carb diet and avoid foods containing sugar.&quot;<br />
<br />
The user would simply like to type something like [diet.lc].<br />
Then the paragraph above would be displayed.<br />
<br />
Are there any plugins or existing scripts that would make this less difficult. &nbsp;I'm not even sure where to begin here.<br />
<br />
Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome.<br />

Populate text boxes with template / short codes

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
