| Where ever an xsl element supports a | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>select</em></span> | |
| , | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>test</em></span> | |
| , or | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>match</em></span> | |
| attribute, content assistance is available. This includes support for the | |
| following: | |
| </p><div class="itemizedlist"><p class="title"><b>Select, Match and Test Assistance</b></p><ul type="disc"><li><p> | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Variables</em></span> | |
| - both local and global variables are supported within the current | |
| stylesheet. Any local or global variable will be added to the list | |
| and the name is prefixed with a dollar sign $ symbol. | |
| </p></li><li><p> | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>XPath 1.0</em></span> | |
| - XPath 1.0 is supported through the use of templates. All of the | |
| XPath 1.0 and XSLT xpath extension functions are available, as | |
| well as | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>axis</em></span> | |
| operations. Currently XPath 2.0 is not supported directly, but | |
| will be added in the future. | |
| </p></li></ul></div><p>Content assistance for the select and test attributes is | |
| intelligent enough to know that it is within an XPath expression, and will | |
| try to determine and provide content assistance based on the current | |
| cursor position. If a word has been partially typed it will filter the | |
| available assistance.</p></div></body></html> |
