To make development with Magnolia CMS faster and more efficient, we have developed our own JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA plugin. The plugin is now available in a first version in the JetBrains Marketplace. In addition to IntelliJ IDEA, the plugin should also be fully functional in other JetBrains IDEs.

- Complete syntax highlighting for Freemarker files
- Completion suggestions for Freemarker built in directives
- Auto-completion for templating functions (cmsfn etc.) including pop-up with documentation on the functions and code examples
- Enhanced syntax highlighting
