Hi All, I am new to JEdit and after discovering XInsert, it becomes my most importent module!!!

With other libraries, I was not that successful [like "Clipper" and "Templates"]. Although, IMO, some enhancements would be very welcome.

First, I try to manage my VBScript library with it, but my most scripts are based on the xml-format [usual extension is ".wsf"]. Inside this scripts/snippets, I have always to include CDATA sections to surround the code-blocks, but this is not possible in XInsert using "xinsert_script" item-types:

<item name="Feature.Request" type="xinsert_script"><![CDATA[ ?XML version="1.0"?> <package> <job> <![CDATA[ -- This is the "inner" CDATA section required for VBScript 'My script body here Option Explicit Dim someObject ]]> -- end "inner" CDATA </job> </package> ]]> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole library is no longer usable after this, not only the current file! All libraries below the current module are no longer displayed. I am not sure, if this is a bug, I'll just request for respecting CDATA in CDATA sections, which works well in my other xml's.

My workaround was to use "CDATA.BEGIN" and "CDATA.END" inside my snippets and replace them by macros. Even this is not easy:

String search = "CDATA.BEGIN";
String repl = "<![CDATA["; The last line is not possible at all and I have to recode it like:
cdataBeginReplace.append((char) 0x3C).append("!").append("[").append("CDATA").append("]");
.....

It might be, this is simply JEdit's xml interpretion itself?

Additionally, a "global reference" to the current XInsert file would be very useful;All my modules contain currently a "Edit this lib" entry-macro, which has to be hardcoded.

Further, another tag like "macro" would be a good idea, just to put library common code into the module. Currently, I put all this things in my startup as global code.

This should not be considered as a complaint , just a wish for some useful enhancements!

Thanks a lot!
Manfred

Note:This was not easy to write!!! Luckily, I discovered, that one may use the "xmp" tag inside the post [just to help others with this note]
