Description James 2010-01-15 16:22:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Many people that run KDE4 want the XML plugin for kate so they can use kate to write documentation.
Comment 1 Milian Wolff 2010-01-15 17:06:43 UTC
Ok, well, uhm - first thanks for using kate - but this feature request is really totally useless. Please extend it with more information:

- what should this plugin do? i.e. list the features that this imagined plugin comes with

- are there existing implementations in other editors one could have a look at for inspiration?

Other than that, this does somehow look more complex than what Kate is supposed to offer you. Please have a look at KDevelop and the new XML plugin for it in playground:

I think this would be a better place. But well, without any kind of information from your side I don't know what exactly you want...
Comment 2 Yuri Chornoivan 2010-01-15 17:21:58 UTC
Actually, this was the wish that xmltools plugin to be ported on KDE 4 (now it is masked in CMakeLists.txt).

Brief feature list can be found here:

http://l10n.kde.org/docs/tools.php

and there

It should be obvious: Port kdesdk/kate/plugins/xmltools/ to kde4, the kde documentation team needs this badly!

I have updated the Kate/KWrite docs several times in kde 4, what about giving something back to the docs team ;-)
Comment 4 Milian Wolff 2010-01-15 17:34:04 UTC
Ok, updated the title, thanks for the clarification Yuri.

@ Burkhard: I never used this tool nor have I ever done any docbook related stuff. Hence it was not obvious to me at all.

SVN commit 1119465 by ttrnka:

Enable xmltools compilation

This is the final step towards working XML completion for KDE 4.5. All
the important features have been ported and seem to pass the testcases.
