Item
Description
Name
In this text box, type the name that will identify the injection configuration in the list.
The text box is available when configuration is created (), or configured ().
Language
In this area, specify the language of the injection. If necessary, define the context to be automatically made up
when the injection is opened in the editor.
ID - from this drop-down list, select the ID of the language of the injection.
Prefix - in this text box, specify the character string to be automatically added before the injection.
Suffix - in this text box, specify the character string to be automatically added after the injection.
The Prefix and Suffix text boxes are optional.
XML Tag
In this area, define the XML tag which indicates that the text enclosed in this tag should be treated as the selected language.
Local name - in this text box, specify the tag name without a namespace prefix.
Use regular expressions to specify multiple tag names (name1|name2),
case-insensitive names ((?i)tagname matches tagname as well as
TagName), etc.
Namespace - in this text box, specify the namespace URI of the XML tag.
The field is optional.
Sub-tags
Select this check box to include all the subtags recursively.
Advanced
In this area, specify additional settings to enable more fine-grained control over the injection process.
Value pattern - in this text box, type a regular expression
that determines the part of the XML text's value to inject the language into.
By using the first capturing group of the pattern as the target for injection,
you can configure the procedure to have the language injected only into values that match a certain pattern or
into multiple parts that match the pattern.
Examples: [$#]\{(.*?)\} matches the pattern used by the JSP/JSF Expression Language. ^javascript:(.*) matches the javascript protocol
that can be used in hyperlink-hrefs to execute JavaScript code.
XPath condition - in this text box, specify an XPath expression to address the injection-target more precisely.
The context in which the expression is evaluated is the surrounding XML tag.
It is possible to use the XPath
extension functions
that are provided by the Jaxen
XPath engine, e.g. lower-case().
Also, there are three additional functions that can be used to determine the current
file's name, extension, and
file type: file-name(),
file-ext()
and
file-type().
Alternatively, a list of available functions can be retrieved through standard code
completion.
For the field to be active,
the XPathView + XSLT Support plugin must be enabled.
Single file - select this check box to specify an exact file to apply the injection to.
