XML - Tag Closing Bug After CDATA Tag

#1

Hi,

Would anyone be able to help with a workaround to the Bug in ST4 where automatic closing tags after a <![CDATA[]]> tag are broken.

If you do something like:

<level1>
<level2>
<![CDATA[garbage]]>

Then try to add the closing tag with: </

You get:

<level1>
<level2>
<![CDATA[garbage]]>
</garbage>

The problem is documented here: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4279

This does not appear to have been assigned as an issue yet, so could be a while for an official fix.

If anyone know what to change in the default XML package, that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham

This core function is unrelated with “default XML package”. So we have to wait for fix. An alternative was to use LSP and LSP-lemminx, which provides completions to close open tags very much the same way.

Hi @deathaxe

Thanks for the information.

Let’s hope that this fundamental parsing bug can be addressed soon (it was fine in ST3!).
