Inspections

Last modified: 12 December 2024

Inspections detect and highlight various problems in the file currently open in the editor, such as invalid markup, missing elements, duplicate IDs, and non-existent references. Inspections are a feature of the IntelliJ platform, so you can read about them in IntelliJ IDEA Help: Inspections.

Most inspections are enabled by default, and Writerside continuously scans the files in your project and shows the number of problems detected in the current file in the top-right corner of the editor:

You can click this widget or press Alt06 to open the Problems tool window that lists all problems in the current file.

Inspections have different severity levels ranging from errors that are critical and will most likely break something, through warnings that should be addressed to avoid potential problems, to typos and considerations for improvement. For more information about severity levels, see IntelliJ IDEA Help: Change inspection severity.

When you see an inspection highlighting something in a file, hover over it to see the popup with the inspection name. Put the cursor at the highlighted element and press AltEnter to see the available context actions, including automatic quick-fixes.

Writerside includes the following inspections that are specific to topic files, tree files, and various configuration files in a Writerside project.
