Intellij plugin for XSL-FO?

Question

I am creating a few Apache FOP documents using velocity and XSLT templates and I find it very difficult to work with Intellij IDE because it doesn't give me hints of the allowed attributes for a node and marks as "error" all the nodes. Is there any plug-in I can use that solves this problem?

I have tried with the only one I have found online:

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7736?pr=idea

But it doesn't seem to do much.

Any ideas?

It seems, that you don't have properly set XML schema for namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format in the IDE. I had the same problem when I asked Idea to download missing schemas. Instead of downloading, the IntelliJ Idea created the empty one.

This helped me:

1. Download XML schema for XSL:FO files (from Apache/FOP or RenderX).
2. In the IntelliJ Idea associate URI http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format to the downloaded file (Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> Schemas & DTDs).
