Autocompletion in text mode

Post by rogo »

I hope this function would be available,in pure text mode, or in xml data input mode. Perhaps, I do not find the way to activate this functionnality ?
Thanks, your confirmation for this point.

Hello,

Details on how the content completion mechanism works can be found here:
Streamline with Content Completion

In short, if you want the content completion support to be fully effective for an XML file, you should have a DTD/schema associated with the document(Setting a Schema for Content Completion). Content completion is also available without a schema but it is limited to the structure of the available document.

To invoke the content completion in context, press Ctrl+Space. In Text mode the content completion is also automatically triggered when entering '<' in the document(the start of an element tag).

Regards,
Adrian
