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

Hi Steve -
Phil Fearon's DeltaXML Ltd extensions may be helpful (caveat: I am not a
VSCode user so can't speak about the extensions, but I do see him post
about the extensions on different channels). The github for these is
https://github.com/DeltaXML.

HTH
Best,
Bridger
