Unwrap tag

Last modified: 26 May 2024

The Unwrap Tag refactoring allows you to unwrap a set of XML tags, replacing them with their contents, if any. If this refactoring is invoked, all tags matching the selected tag name may be unwrapped. This bulk unwrapping of tags may be useful as XML schemas evolve. Note that top-level tags will not be unwrapped, as this may make XML documents invalid.

Please note the following:

  • Pressing Preview opens the Refactoring preview window displaying all found usages of the tags to be unwrapped. In this window you can exclude/include usages you want to refactor.

  • Pressing Show XSLT... opens the XSLT preview window displaying a small fragment of XSLT equivalent to the refactoring requested. This fragment can be used by XSLT processors to perform the requested refactoring on files external to your WebStorm project.

  • The Refactoring preview window may appear anyway, if the files to be affected are read-only.
