VS Plugin installed but not working

[alesanchezr]

Description

I have added the follwing extension to gitpod and it does not seem to work: https://github.com/alesanchezr/python-string-sql

Reproduction Steps

You can install the extension from here: https://github.com/alesanchezr/python-string-sql/blob/master/docs/python-string-sql-1.1.0.vsix

Create a python file like this:

some_sql = """
--sql
INSERT * into
;
"""

some_html = f"""
--html
<p class="{bob}">{hello}</p>
--!html
"""

The python string should be highlighted with SQL or HTML syntax respectively like this:

OS and Theia version: Gitpod.io

Could be that it in Gitpod because we are still using the Theia Python extension rather than the one from VS Code. @AlexTugarev any ideas?

@AlexTugarev please move an issue to Gitpod if it is so

[AlexTugarev]

@akosyakov it looks like injectionSelector doesn't work, so this is a Theia issue.
