Would it be possible to add support for custom tags to HTML autocomplete? For example, if someone makes a directive using angularJS, it would be very helpful if that tag would appear in autocomplete. For example, if I made an <uploader> directive, with an attribute called 'url', then I could type <uploader u and it would show 'url' in the autocomplete automatically. It doesn't have to do this by parsing the angularJS directive code, if there were a way to just specify the custom tags and their attributes manually, that would be just fine. Thanks.
I was thinking about this. Not just for html. I would prefer a way that there will be common "format" and way/ui how to specify this for different languages rather than every editor has this implemented in it's way.
Isn't it only the HTML editor which needs tags and attributes in autocomplete?
I think there's already an enhancement somewhere for adding a support for injecting custom element's/attributes to the html editor support. I believe this is quite important issue.
Making this issue bit more generic so it covers the whole editing area, not just the completion. What'd be nice to have: 1) add an unknown element to a user dictionary 2) add an unknown attribute of un/known element to a user dictionary 3) edit the dictionary file which has some appropriate format 4) completion then takes the dictionary into account 5) define content type of an element's content 6) define content type of an attribute's content note: effect of 5,6 is that a lexical/parser embedding is created for such elements/attrs so some editing features can be available for them (if implemented).
Not implemented in NB 8.0
