Is content assist for CSS available as HTML editor?

Consider the following example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.orange-header {
    color: orange;
    text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1 class="|">My First CSS Example</h1>

</body>
</html>

<h1 class="|

I would expect that the "orange-header" CSS class will be proposed when I hit Ctrl+Space, but this does not happen.

In Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Content Assist I can see that CSS proposals are enabled.

This used to work ... but not for "in same file" CSS style.
It would only work if the CSS was supplied in a "stylesheet".
I say "used to" since I tried for 60 seconds to get a style sheet to
work (that is, to offer content assist) and it did not, for some reason.
Hopefully I was making a silly mistake and at least that still works.
FWIW, there is/was a very old bug on supporting CSS "in header" (but so
old I won't bother looking it up).

Hi David,

The real issue I have is with CSS supplied in a "stylesheet". I used the "in same file" CSS example as an easier way to reproduce.

Do you remember in which version of WTP this used to work?

Thanks,
Kaloyan

No, not specifically. It seemed like it did "2 or 3 releases ago" ....
but ... that's along time, so I don't really have any idea.

Le me know if/how you get it working!
