Formatting keywords [message #1786338]

Given a case insensitive language, is it possible to use the formatter to render all keywords in upper case letters, e.g., convert keyword Package to PACKAGE?

Thanks!

Hi,

i am not aware of any native support for that but you can always create custom replacers for any regions you want e.g.

def dispatch void format(Greeting g, extension IFormattableDocument document) {
		document.addReplacer(new AbstractTextReplacer(document, g.regionFor.keyword("Hello")) {

			override createReplacements(ITextReplacerContext context) {
				context.addReplacement(region.replaceWith(region.text.toUpperCase))
				return context
			}

		})
	}

Need professional support for Xtext, Xpand, EMF?
