Oops :) because of the top-level element namespace, the entire text is recognized as XHTML; while schema completion provider is registered against text/xml, it is not available for XHTML files. This is not easily solvable. It could be possible to register the XML provider with some minor code tweaks, but the XML provider works XML lexical elements and expects them from the file's lexer. But, in this case, the lexer provides XHTML tokens. The lexer infrastructure (IMHO) does not allow to produce different lexical streams for the same document, so the text cannot be reinterpreted as XML. It isn't feasible to duplicate all the XML completion in XHTML module either. |
Consider for example the following XML element: <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:v='http://typo3.org/ns/FluidTYPO3/Vhs/ViewHelpers' xsi:schemaLocation=' http://www.w3.org/2002/08/xhtml/xhtml1-transitional.xsd http://typo3.org/ns/FluidTYPO3/Vhs/ViewHelpers https://fluidtypo3.org/schemas/vhs-master.xsd'> </div> Then inside the div, no elements from the namespace v are available for autocompletion at all. I can't quote the XML specification on the correct behaviour in this case, but I think there should be an option to make the v: elements available for better user experience if not for the spec. Or even better, show them by default.
