There are some variations of this function, used exclusively on the start repeat functions from the snippets.

Function used only once inside the snippet: |KE_GENERIC_SWITCH_INSIDE(name,_coma_delimited_list_)|

Available keywords:

• |SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_value_from_list|
• |SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_value_from_list|
• |HIDE_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_value_from_list|
• |HIDE_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_value_from_list|

Funnction used multiple times inside the same snippet: |KE_GENERIC_SWITCH_INSIDE_EX(name,prefix,_coma_delimited_list_)|

Available keywords:

• |SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_prefix+value_from_list|
• |SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_prefix+value_from_list|
• |HIDE_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_prefix+value_from_list|
• |HIDE_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_prefix+value_from_list|

Example for multiple usage of the function in the same snippet:

|KE_GENERIC_SWITCH_INSIDE_EX(|USER_LEVEL|,a,0,1)|
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_a0|
(content)
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_a0|
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_a1|
(content)
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_a1|
|KE_GENERIC_SWITCH_INSIDE_EX(|USER_GENDER|,b,0,1)|
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_b0|
(content)
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_b0|
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_START_b1|
(content)
|SHOW_ON_SWITCH_INSIDE_CASE_END_b1|

In this example |USER_LEVEL| and |USER_GENDER| are the names of the field for which the switch is made, a and b are the prefixes, 0 and 1 are the possible values the names (|USER_LEVEL| and |USER_GENDER|) can take.
