Just wondering if I should expect these to work via LSP (e.g. in Theia) at all. In general, there doesn't seem to be any clear documentation that I've been able to find about what Xtext IDE features are supported via LSP, so it's difficult to tell what kind of feature parity to expect between the native Eclipse IDE plugin and an LSP IDE and where the gaps might be. There is not even an LSP section on the Xtext documentation website, while the Web Support section doesn't go into enough detail, and seemingly doesn't cover Monaco-based Theia, so it looks like it's wildly out of date. If I remember correctly, Web Support is basically abandoned in favour of LSP, so this makes sense, I just don't understand why there's no documentation for the LSP side of things.

the main reason is: nobody writes it. and nobody funds the writing.
at least templates work with vscode

Hello Dimo,

indeed, the Xtext-LSP section is still missing from the official Xtext documentation .
The corresponding GitHub issue is available under https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1141

Hello Dimo,

The LSP Support section has been added to the Xtext documentation.

Thanks, that makes things clearer. I was actually trying to figure out if the AbstractIdeTemplateProposalProvider API with the variable and cursor methods works in LSP, but I see that the resulting edit positions are ignored in ContentAssistService. Is there a different API available, or do I need to hard-code the variables in my templates using the LSP snippet syntax?
