💬 Questions

Q: Why can't the related ELF expressions be highlighted after installing the LiteFlowX plug-in?

A: First, make sure you have installed the latest version of the LiteFlowX plugin, and be sure to restart IDEA after the installation is complete. If the above operation still does not solve the problem, consider that the third-party theme you installed affects the highlighting, please go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> General -> Code -> Injected language fragment and tick the right Uncheck the Foreground checkbox and press to confirm the changes.

Q: Why does the comment written in the expression report an error, sometimes not?

A: Pay special attention here. If you need to write comments in expressions, you can only write them before reference components or ELF keywords, as shown in the following figure.

Q: My problem is not resolved in the troubleshooting, what should I do?

A: The LiteFlowX plugin is still growing, and it is inevitable that you will encounter strange things during use, but it does not matter, you can contact the author (opens new window) or Gitee repository (opens new window), put forward your valuable comments or ISSUES, and I will answer your questions as soon as possible. 💖
