Oxygen XML Forum

When editing an .xml file containing conventional SQL statements within a tag, I would like to see the statements formatted; for example, color coding key words. Could someone point me in the right direction towards something that is already available, or what I would have to do to realize formatted statements.

Hello,

No, that is not available in the XML editor panel of Oxygen. We will consider implementing that in one of the future versions of Oxygen. You will need a way for specifying the names of the XML tags that contain SQL statements. Maybe a special list in Preferences - Editor - Colors - XML should allow adding the tag names that contain SQL statements so that the XML editor knows where to apply SQL syntax coloring.

Thank you for considering this enhancement. I had no idea how often I would find myself printing and highlighting SQL statements when I first got involved with XML and <oXygen/>. A Preferences tag list sounds like a good approach that would lend itself to additional language support.
