Hi, I tell me if Freemarker could provide a Freemarker Language Server.
Today the main IDE (Eclipse, intellij, etc) , Editors code (VSCode, Atom, Sublime, Vim,etc) provides a LSP support https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification to manage completion, hover, hyperlink, etc in their editor for any language (HTML, JSON, Java, TypeScript, JavaSCript, CSS, etc) which provides a the language server. I think it should really fantastic if Freemarker could provide this same feature with a "Freemarker Language Server" like JDT Java does it https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls The Freemarker Language Server could maintain FTL files of the project in memory in Template structure which can be updated with a none valid FTL content (when user change the content of the editor). But today we cannot use the Template structure for the Freemarker Language Server, because: * the FMParser is not tolerant. So if you try to parse a FTL content which is not valid (ex : a <#if which is not closed), the parser throws an error. * the Template structure cannot be updated with a "replaced content". It's not a blocking issue since LSP support "incremental", and "full" kind (see TextDocumentSyncKind at https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification) Regard's Angelo
