Support any xsl namespace

2003-09-09T14:56:16Z

Low priority:

Consider getting xsl namespace from whatever
namespace is assigned
to "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" so that we
could support stylesheets that generate other
stylesheets. The following sample stylesheet was taken
from:

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d5145
e19

Example #18:

<x:stylesheet
xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsl="anything" version="1.0">
<x:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<x:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xsl" result-
prefix="x"/>
<x:template match="/">
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="foo"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</x:template>
</x:stylesheet>

In the above stylesheet, the x: elements should be
highlighted as xsl elements, and the xsl: elements should
be highlighted as xml or html would normally be. This
should affect all other features of xslide as well,
including tag completion.

I am adding this because I assume someone would use
this feature. If you actually do use this feature of xsl (I
don't) please vote for this change by responding to this
RFE right here. Otherwise, this might stay low-priority
indefinitely.

Indentation: Pretty-print attributes on multiple lines

2003-09-09T14:44:57Z

Low priority:

It would be reallynice to pretty-print attributes of tags
which take up multiple lines and have this work with tabs
or spaces. Basically, attributes on new lines should line
up with the first attribute after the tag name. I hope
this comes out, but since the default font is not
monospaced, I'm going to try entering html onto this
page. Let's see if it's legible...

This means to indent as follows (using periods for
spaces):

(using "tab" to represent tabs):
<code>
tab&lt;some-tag attr1="val1"
tab..........attr2="val2"
tab..........attr3="val3" /&gt;
</code>

Special indent handling for xsl:text

2003-06-25T04:06:12Z

It would like to be able to specify that indenting of
xsl:text be handled differently.

<xsl:text> as the first text on a line is indented
normally.
Indentation of subsequent text lines up to and
including the line containing the </xsl:text> tag is
never changed.

</xsl:text> is ignored in calculating the indentation
of all subsequent tags.

This allows me to determine the indentation of the
contents of <xml:text/> tags without having that text
altered during entry or subsequent re-indention of the
file or part thereof.

Incidentally, the current indentation seems to be upset
by </xsl:text> end tags in many circumstances.

CDATA section needs different behavior

2003-06-11T02:59:02Z

I often escape my javascript sections inside CDATA tags.
It would be nice to have different rules for these
sections. Consider the following example:

It tried to indent whenever I typed < or /.
It gave me </hello> when I typed >. I deleted it. After
the CDATA tag, I typed </ and expected to get
</xsl:comment> but I got </hello>. I would like these
features disabled inside CDATA and comment tags.

Return takes me to proper indent

2003-06-11T02:51:11Z

If my point is between <table> and </table> and I hit
return, the </table> should end up properly indented.

Autocompleting more for some tags

2003-06-11T02:49:53Z

Every <xsl:choose> will have an <xsl:when> just as
every <xsl:table> will have a <tr> and <td>. These
could be autocompleted. Also, every if or when will
have a test attribute which could be auto-completed
when I type a space.

xslide should support tab-style indentation

2003-06-11T02:42:19Z

I like to indent my files with three-space-wide tabs and
NO SPACES. xslide should support that with
customization variables and documentation.

add local definitions of variables

2002-05-28T07:26:35Z

I have found the mode very useful so far, but there are a
few local variable definitions I am missing:

- indent-line-function should be set to xsl-electric-tab so
that indent-region (usually mapped to [C-M-\]) works.
- appropriate variables and functions for commenting line
should be defined.

Maybe the mode could be implemented as a minor
mode with sgml-mode as major mode...

Remote Files

2001-12-20T21:13:06Z

It would be nice if xslide used emacs to load files
for xsl-process so that remote files can be used via
ange-ftp or TRAMP. This would also allow for filename
completion which would be nice as well.

Convert xsl:if to xsl:choose

2001-11-16T22:43:15Z

xslide should have a function to automatically convert
an xsl:if to an xsl:choose containing a single
xsl:when.
