@GKannanDev @geerlingguy Got a Benq PD2730S 5k after 9 year Dell U3415w 1440p monitor, a big improvement for coding on MacOS. Needed 20% zoom for VSCode for text readability previously, with 0% now, readability still far better. Higher contrast-ratio, resolution and wider colour gamut all help.

My main 10yo 27" 4K LG display is suffering some pretty bad burn-in these days. Any good options for a 27" (or maybe up to 32", but 27" seems ideal for my distance) 4K display that does 60 Hz? Mainly used for video editing and code. Might just go with a ProArt.

Sometimes, we need more than a single viewpoint to fully understand what’s going on in our code. Enter print-debugging – a method that offers a broader picture by printing variable values at various points in your code. shorturl.at/zmcW7 #XSLT #XML #Debugging #VSCode

@ryanels Back in the day we had these things called XML and XSLT. The concept you describe was real. 😬 It did not look anything like as pretty as your example. 😬😬😱

If HTML was a programming language 🤓

I've just posted this blog: "Beyond Step-Through XSLT Debugging" deltaxml.com/?p=17036

@hediet_dev @code Nice! One idea for block selection: add button to guide lines on hover, clicking on a guide line button selects the whole block for revert/stage

Experimenting with improved revert/stage selection buttons in the diff editor in @code. I'm not 100% convinced by the design yet. What do you think?

...and then use VS Code to generate a merge-preview from the raw data:

VS Code's semantic highlighting for JSON helps with the readability of DeltaXML's (experimental) 3-way merge data:

A 5 foot desk + dual-monitor setup sure helps when assessing text collation and developing a merge GUI solution at the same time

Currently experimenting with improving the xsl:message output when running XSLT tests with XSpec:

#GenerativeArt interlude Pleased to announce a substantial new release of my art code (mathling.com/code/index.html) Now w/ full generated documentation & full parity between #XQuery and #XSLT libraries Release notes give the gory details

#Typefi is now running the latest @DeltaXML plug-in (v8.0.87) which contains one workflow action—DeltaXML compare (v14.0.2).🎉 In this release, Customised pipelines are also now supported. See our DeltaXML plug-in release notes for details: bit.ly/3ZwlhDl #XMLcomparison

@frenchysdf Here's the feature request: github.com/microsoft/vsco…

@frenchysdf Have you tried the XPath Notebook extension? marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName… Unfortunately, you can't click through xpath results any more as the VSCode team removed the required feature - I've submitted a feature request to fix this

@frenchysdf ... I've extended a few popular VS Code color themes specially for XSLT 3.0 too: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

@frenchysdf Visual Studio Code's XSLT extension is coded in JavaScript - there are scores of colour themes to choose from and it can run the (Node) SaxonJS XSLT 3.0 processor too: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…
