Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2005-04-21 17:11:19 UTC 
It would be useful to implement autocompletion for XML pages without DTD specified. (For example, IntelliJIDEA supports this). 

DTD could be created dynamically and temporarily to support autocomplete function.

Can you give an example where you would like something like that. In fact, we do have this feature available to some
extent I believe. For example inside a web.xml, you get CC w/o any DTD, nor schema declaration. Also inside schema
documents.

I would like to know what you're talking about though?
Comment 2 Alexander Kouznetsov 2008-10-29 07:17:45 UTC 
The idea of this enhancement is to provide user support in modification of arbitrary xml documents regardless of their
DTD availability. 

This should work in the following scenario: user opens any xml document without DTD (or creates a new one) and NetBeans
provides code completion of tags and attributes based on existing xml file structure.
