@GKannanDev @geerlingguy Got a Benq PD2730S 5k after 9 year Dell U3415w 1440p monitor, a big improvement for coding on MacOS.

Needed 20% zoom for VSCode for text readability previously, with 0% now, readability still far better. Higher contrast-ratio, resolution and wider colour gamut all help.

Sometimes, we need more than a single viewpoint to fully understand what’s going on in our code. Enter print-debugging – a method that offers a broader picture by printing variable values at various points in your code. https://t.co/dHKfBkAwh7 #XSLT #XML #Debugging #VSCode

@hediet_dev @code Nice! One idea for block selection: add button to guide lines on hover, clicking on a guide line button selects the whole block for revert/stage

Autumn leaves at night:

...and then use VS Code to generate a merge-preview from the raw data:

[Phil Fearon @pgfearo]

VS Code's semantic highlighting for JSON helps with the readability of DeltaXML's (experimental) 3-way merge data:

A 5 foot desk + dual-monitor setup sure helps when assessing text collation and developing a merge GUI solution at the same time

@frenchysdf Here's the feature request: https://t.co/F52XRD8kcd

[Phil Fearon @pgfearo]

@frenchysdf Have you tried the XPath Notebook extension? https://t.co/nZ5Mu0teaj
Unfortunately, you can't click through xpath results any more as the VSCode team removed the required feature - I've submitted a feature request to fix this

[Phil Fearon @pgfearo]

@frenchysdf ... I've extended a few popular VS Code color themes specially for XSLT 3.0 too: https://t.co/dPerdVkWKb

[Phil Fearon @pgfearo]

@frenchysdf Visual Studio Code's XSLT extension is coded in JavaScript - there are scores of colour themes to choose from and it can run the (Node) SaxonJS XSLT 3.0 processor too: https://t.co/YP7RzUThHZ
