Also some Snippets are now on board. Try it out! Type in: `comline` and then press <kbd>TAB ↹</kbd>.
I hardly encourage you to either modify the snippets, so they will suit your needs; or to make new ones.

This Sublime Text packages got accompanied by [GDLnucleus](http://www.opengdl.org/Default.aspx?tabid=9748) (_not free_). GDLnucleus is a assistant program which enables you to send your changes live to ArchiCAD from Sublime Text.

It can be understood as a ST-project handler integrated with a link to the LP_XMLConverter, which comes with ArchiCAD. See the page for more details.
