On Monday, started working again on options for providing workable editor environments for projects using VSCode. I initially played around with Antigravity (Google’s fork of VSCode), to test whether its AI was likely to be helpful in this respect, but it proved not to be; it was so inclined to drag in masses of dependencies to do simple tasks that I went back to working on VSCode, and started with the RedHat XML plugin. I got that configured to do RNG validation and prompting via a config file in the project root, and then started looking at options for Schematron. Found I was able to get SchXslt working at the command line quite nicely, and it looks like I should be able to migrate that into a command-palette task.
On Tuesday, spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get two different run-on-save extensions to work properly, to run a Schematron validation Ant task. I was eventually unsuccessful, and need to consider a different strategy, although cleaning out my VSCode extension collection and starting from a clean setup will be the first thing to try.
