Symbols from included/imported files are included in the suggestions list. There is intellisense also for XSLT and XPath functions - help for built-in functions is shown alongside the suggestions list. Intellisense suggestions include all in-scope XSLT and XPath symbols from xsl:accumulator names to xsl:variable names, to anonymous XPath function parameters. You may optionally include a label for the processing instructions, for example:

To set a region code-folding block, surround it with and processing instructions. Foldingįolding with this extension uses indentation to determine fold regions. Indentation is also adjusted for if/else blocks and range-variable blocks. The XPath formatter indents code blocks within, and () bracket-pairs. The following settings control this:Įditor.formatOnType - Controls indentation for new lines.Įditor.formatOnSave - Controls indentation for new lines.Įditor.formatOnPaste - Controls indentation for new lines.Į - modifications setting, only formats code changes on save. Two commands are provided for formatting XML, XSLT or XPath expressions:įormat Document ( ⇧⌥F) - Format the entire active file.įormat Selection ( ⌘K ⌘F) - Format the selected content.įormat on Save - Optionally specify to format only modifications.Īs well as explicitly invoking commands, formatting can be triggered as you type, when you save a file, or when you paste content from the clipboard. XPath expressions within Attribute Value Templates (AVTs) and Text Value Templates are syntax highlighted also.

The extension provides syntax highlighting for XSLT instructions, XML Literal Result Elements, XML attributes, XML character references, CDATA sections and all tokens within XPath expressions. For external color themes you should explicitly enable Semantic Highlighting.Įva Dark Theme and Github Light Theme examples: Syntax Highlightingįor improved performance and precision, this extension eschews the default but problematic TextMate Grammar and instead uses Visual Studio Code's Semantic Highlighting introduced in 2020.

Visual Studio Code's rich ecosystem is now available to XSLT and XPath developers. Standalone XPath 3.1 files are also fully supported. With DeltaXML's XSLT/XPath extension, Visual Studio Code is now a fully featured XSLT 3.0 editor.
