<item><p>Select the <gui>Snippets</gui> tab by clicking on it.</p></item>
<item><p>Click on the <key>Add</key> button to add a new <em>snippet</em> definition or click on the <key>Remove</key> button to delete the selected <em>snippet</em>.</p></item>
<item><p>Double click in the <gui>label</gui> or <gui>text</gui> column of a <em>snippet</em> to edit its name or its text.</p></item>
