ISML Completion

The ISML language server completes across the whole template: the markup layer (tags and attributes) and the script layer (expressions and <isscript>). It's powered by the SFCC-aware HTML language service combined with the script engine.

Tag Completion

Type <is and the standard ISML tags complete - isif, iselse, iselseif, isloop, isinclude, isset, isprint, isdecorate, iscomponent, iscontent, isslot, iscache, ismodule, isscript, and the rest of the ~34 tags the language knows.

<isl        <!-- ← isloop, isslot, … -->

Attribute & Value Completion

Inside a tag, the valid attributes for that tag complete, along with their documentation:

<isinclude            <!-- ← template, url -->
<isloop               <!-- ← items, var, status, begin, end, step -->
<isset                <!-- ← name, value, scope -->

Attribute values complete where the language service knows the value set (for example scope="…" on <isset>), and template="…" completes against your indexed templates (see below).

Template-Path Completion

template="…" values (on <isinclude>, <isdecorate>, <iscomponent>, …) complete against the .isml templates indexed across all cartridges, with the .isml extension omitted on insert:

<isinclude template="checkout/      <!-- ← checkout/billing, checkout/summary, … -->

Custom-Tag Completion

Custom tags declared via <ismodule> are discovered and offered as completions - with their declared attributes. See Custom Tags & Modules for how they're registered.

<isproducttile        <!-- ← your custom tag, with its product / class attributes -->

Expression & Script Completion

This is where ISML completion goes beyond markup. Inside ${ … } and <isscript> blocks you get the full script experience - dw.* members, pdict, <isset>/<isloop> variables, require() paths, and everything described in Scripting in ISML.

<isloop items="${pdict.products}" var="product">
    <isprint value="${product.        }" />   <!-- ← dw.catalog.Product members -->
</isloop>

The server detects whether your cursor is in a script context (an expression or an <isscript> block) and routes to script completion automatically.

Snippets & Trigger Characters

The built-in snippets scaffold the common tags. Completion is offered as you type and re-triggered on the characters that matter for ISML - <, space, :, ., {, /, ", ' - and you can always force it with Ctrl+Space.
