Non-XML-based HTML? - SyntaxEditor Web Languages Add-on for Silverlight Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Derek Calder - Alterian

Version: 11.1.0110

I suspect that only XHTML is supported, because it sounds like the syntax editor's HTML support is derived from the XML support. Is there a way to have the syntax editor set up for other versions of HTML, such as 4.01? We want to allow users to edit HTML that does not follow all of the rules of XHTML.

Hi Derek,

For the Web Languages Add-on, only XHTML is supported since the language there is XML-based and requires tags to be well-formed.

We do have a free HTML language definition shipping in the Sample Browser that you can use and modify as needed. It just does syntax highlighting (no automatic outlining) but as with all syntax languages, you can start with it and extend it with any language services you'd like. For instance you could add a completion provider service to show a list of HTML tags.
