Working on a custom symbol list for a specific type of XML

#1

Hi,

I am working on a symbol list for a specific type of XML file that contains the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<graph name="graphName">

  <description>bla</description>
  
  <abc-state-defaults bla />
   
  <abc-state name="foo" actionRequest="bla">
    ....
  </abc-state>
  
  <abc-state name="bar" actionRequest="asdf">
    ....
  </abc-state>

<close-state name="Complete"/>
</graph>

I tried the following to get the symbols to at least show up:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Symbol List: ARHs</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>text.xml</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>showInSymbolList</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>showInIndexedSymbolList</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

However, this is resulting in all of the xml file to appear as a single symbol. Is there a way I can get the following as symbols:

  • graph name; namely “graphName”
  • abc-state names; namely “foo” & “bar”
  • close-state name; namely “Complete”

Thanks for the help in advance!

In a custom syntax definition, you need to assign specific scope names to the tokens you want to add to the list which you then select via the .tmPreferences file.
