Format and Indent XQuery

Hi,
We are using Oxygen 8.2 to run and debug XQuery against a Mark Logic 3.2 database. This works really well, but there are a couple of things that would make the experience even better:
1) It would be really great if Oxygen could format and indent XQuery code.
2) There still seems to be no XQuery validation support with Mark Logic 3.2 and Oxygen 8.2
Many thanks,
-Steve Mallen

Hello,
Format and indent for XQuery files will be implemented in a future version of oXygen. The version number which will add this feature was not planned.
XQuery validation support can be implemented in oXygen only if the MarkLogic server has validation support. There is no version of the MarkLogic server yet with validation support.
Regards,
Sorin

Sorin,
Many thanks for the quick reply. We will nag Mark Logic to implement validation support asap

I agree that formatting XQuery is very important.
It's mainly XQuery and RelaxNG support that recommends Oxygen to our project, so it would be good to see development in this area.

Hello,
Format and indent (pretty print) was not implemented yet for XQuery files but we will consider it for a future version of Oxygen.

Hello,
Actually, format and indenting XQuery documents is already possible in version 17, for XQuery files which are in compliance with W3C XQuery 1.0, XQuery Update Facility 1.0, and XQuery 3.0 specifications.
You can pretty print XQuery documents from oXygen menu Document > Source > Format and Indent, or by using the related button in the toolbar.
The format and indent for XQuery functionality is also mentioned in our User-Guide, at:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/1 ... print.html

Thanks for the tip, Costin. Is there any way to customize the formatting? By default, it will place a line feed between curly braces and a one-line command, which I would only do for multi-line code.
So this:
Becomes this:
Code: Select all
<name>{
$person/first-name
}</name>
That makes the code a little harder to read at a glance. It would be better if such a format only applied for multi-line expressions, like FLOWRs.

Hi,
I am happy to let you know that this behavior was also corrected in a subsequent maintenance build of oXygen (2015051321).
Here is the relevant excerpt from the build notes:
XQuery/Format and Indent: Improved line breaking when formatting expressions placed between curly brackets.
Therefore, updating to the latest build available on our website should solve the issue related to the insertion of the line feed while pretty-printing XQuery files.

Costin
