Completion for locally declared entity

Completion for declared entity

Given this XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article [
  <!ENTITY mdash "&#x2014;">
]>
<root>
  |
</root>

It should be cool to have completion on [ to show mdash entity. When it will be inserted, it must generate &mdash ;

Any plans to support this? It would be great help.

@ph777 I'm working on this issue, but it will work for only local entities. Is it a feature which could help you or not? I think you wish to have completion on external DTD but I wanted just to know if local completion entity could be helpful for you.

Thanks for asking. We use both local and external entities. We would appretiate if both worked. However, improvement on local entities is also a valuable improvement ;-) Is it hard to also do external entities? Dne pá 24. dub 2020 21:23 uživatel Angelo <notifications@github.com> napsal:

Ok thanks for your feedback.

Is it hard to also do external entities?

I don't know, I need to investigate Xerces support for that, see #660
