Re: [xsl] suggestion for an xml editor, please?

["Steven D. Majewski steve.majewski@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have recommendations for XML extensions for Visual Studio Code ?
Or how to configure the extensions ?

On my first attempt to set it up for XML editing, I loaded too many extensions
and had trouble getting them to work together (or to figure out which
extension wasnbt working properly) Now I have only XML Tools v2.5.1 loaded,
and it does formatting for example, but I havenbt tried to figure out how to
get it to work with Saxon or BaseX.

( I mostly rely on Oxygen, but not sure if Ibm going to keep my license when
I retire.
  Maybe Ibll spend my extra time learning to write VS Code extensions. ;-)
