[oXygen-user] XPath expressions syntactically highlighted in XSLT

Hi,

It's true that they are difficult to differentiate from one another, but 
this can already be easily fixed.
Go to Options > Preferences, Editor > Colors and look for XPATH. Select 
all the token types of XPATH(from "Text" to "Star"), enable the 
"Background" option and pick a background color from the color picker. I 
recommend a light-gray color.

Note that this background color will affect all XPath expressions from 
attribute values inside XSLT, but also the XPath expressions from the 
other Oxygen helpers(XPath toolbar and builder).

I've logged an issue to investigate and have something like this 
out-of-the-box.

Regards,
Adrian
