Re: [ jEdit-users ] SideKick a Tag Editor?

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

For some flavors of XML, a publicly available schema is defined in a
DTD or XML schema. There are a couple of built-in grammars which are
included in the XML plugin, but if you put a proper DTD or XML schema
declaration at the top (which usually specifies a URL to download the
schema), the XML plugin can request, download and cache the schema
from a remote host.  After that, it knows what elements are allowed
where, and what attributes are allowed with each element.

So the trick is, you have to find a DTD or XML schema for coldfusion,
get the URL where it is accessible, and then put the proper fields in
the header of your XML document. Once you have that, the tag editor
should work, showing you checkboxes for all of the possible attribs of
the current element.
