Completing Tag Names
On this page:
Introduction
IntelliJ IDEA automatically completes the names of tags, attributes and their values in files of the following types:
Automatic tag name completion is based on the DTD or Schema the file is associated with.
If there is no schema association, IntelliJ IDEA will use the file content (tag and attribute names and their values) to complete your input.
In XML/XSL and JSP/JSPX files, completion for taglibs and namespaces is available.
You can have IntelliJ IDEA do one of the following:
- Insert a declaration of the taglib the tag in question belongs to.
- Import the desired taglib and insert all required import and reference statements.
Completing tag names
To invoke the tag name completion
- Press < and start typing the tag name. IntelliJ IDEA displays the list of tag names appropriate in the current context. Use the ArrowUp and ArrowDown buttons to scroll through the list.
-
Press Enter to accept selection from the list, or continue typing the tag name manually.
IntelliJ IDEA automatically inserts mandatory attributes according to the schema.
Inserting taglib declaration
