Enhanced XML support

Postby KiwiMedia » Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:49 am

It would be awesome if we could have auto complete/close on created xml tags as well as CDATA tags, I work with xml files on weekly basis as flat data files both for javascript/jQuery and php. Currently I move to FlashDevelop to do these things on more advanced xml files (which means downloading/exporting the file, edit and then upload/importing after editing).
If you don't want to install flashdevelop this is an example of what I want.

Tag auto complete
After adding the closing bracket (>) <exampletag> becomes <exampletag>|</exampletag> with the caret ready to enter data
Closing the tag with /> (<exampletag/>) would not trigger the auto complete function

CDATA
<![C would bring up auto suggest <![CDATA[]]> and <![CDATA[|]]> with caret in edit position

Code collapse would also be fabulous

These features would be a huge time saver for me and I hope others

You could use code templates for CDATA (e.g. using <!C as callword): http://help.blumentals.net/webuilder/re ... plates.htm

I'll add the suggestion about auto-completing all tags (in XML files or in all files?) to the list. Fow now the only way to do it would be using a plugin.

Thanks for the reply Aivars, yes code templates is how I've solved <![CDATA[]> today as well as comment and few others.
I wasn't aware that there were a plugin for this but I'll check the plugin directory for it.
Thanks anyhow for considering my suggestion (and yes all files would probably be even more useful).
