XSLT specific intention actions

The XSLT Support comes with a few intentions that can be useful for XSLT development.

Before you start

Install and enable the XPathView + XSLT plugin on the Settings | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains Marketplace.

Intention to convert xsl:if to xsl:choose

This is useful if it turns out that a simple if-branch isn't enough in a certain situation and an else-branch is required. When placing the caret at the start tag of the xsl:if, the intention shows up and converts the code fragment into an xsl:choose, preserving the original xsl:if as an xsl:when block and adding an xsl:otherwise block.

Before

After

Convert xsl:if to xsl:choose
Convert xsl:if to xsl:choose Result

Intention to add optional parameters

This intention can be used to pass a value for an optional parameter in a template-call. It will insert the appropriate xsl:with-param tag and show a lookup list for all parameters that aren't already passed to the template.
