Spring with Hibernate - Thymeleaf question

I really would like to understand why when I am working with Thymeleaf template in my IntelliJ, the the IDE displays Thymeleaf expression variables as errors ... but not on the instructor IDE. Example

${colors}" th:value="${color.hexCode}

colors and Color.hexCode will show red line under them in my IDE, but they look fine in the instructor's video. The code run fine, but it hard to debug a real problem when the page is full of red lines.

Question: What magic the instructor is applying to make these lines go away then there are no invalid syntax.

Thanks

The problem is that the GIF templates files have theses tags <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head th:replace="layout :: head(${gif.description})"></head>

whereas the Category Template items were missing this tag <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

This was causing Category errors before I even got a chance to start.

My initial work around was to add this to the Category template files <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

as in <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> <head th:replace="layout :: head(${gif.description})"></head>

Eventhough this got the code going, the Thymeleaf rendering was showing redline as I described previously.

I opened a ticked with the Intellij folks and they responded ....this is not supported yet ... working on a fix.

in any case, I resolved all by making all files under Category Template have these tags <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> and removed the one I added earlier <html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

This solved the rendering problem

thanks
