How do I specify custom ids for my snippets?

In the Professional version of CodeDemo, you can specify custom ids for your snippets in addition to the ones automatically generated by CodeDemo. This is how it works : The first word (upto 15 characters) of the first line in your snippet is used as the custom id. If the first word contains non-alphanumeric characters, CodeDemo will use the first 15 alpha-numeric characters of the first word of your snippet. For example, if the first line starts with //Test1 - This is the first test. The custom id will be Test1. There are many examples of specifying custom ids in Quickstart.txt file. This file is automatically loaded the first time you run CodeDemo. You can review this file here.
