detection of <% vs <? is off

[sanderhouttekier]

when opening files with <%%> notation It detects the syntax highlighting as EJS <??>...

i can switch it over manually but that gets tedious after doing that for every template time and time again.

either I'm looking for an option to force <%%> syntax highlighting, or a fix to detect the syntax type.

I got it.

Find Packages/EJS/insert_ejs_tags.sublime-snippet

just change ? to % :+1:

$0 ]]> <%(=) 'insert ejs tags' %> = text.html

[ilanbiala]

@samholmes is there an option that will change this, or just that? Not sure that's the best idea because I think it gets overwritten if the package is updated, no?

[samholmes]

I thought I created two formats to switch between as @zhigang1992 illustrated with the screenshot. What is this issue about exactly?

[diegoesp]

I think that the issue is that some of the guys did not understand @zhigang1992 answer that in fact showed how to solve the problem.

For anyone that comes here: a simple way to do this:

1. you pick an EJS file and display it in the editor
2. From the window menu pick View => Syntax => "Open all with current extension as" => EJS => Pick <% %>

That's it. Whenever you open another file it should use the alternative syntax.

Thanks @zhigang1992 for the answer and @samholmes for this great package.

But it should automatically detect which syntax I'm using, I shouldn't have to do anything, and what if I use both syntaxes when I'm working on different teams. Auto-detect is the only way to go and @samholmes should fix it.

[diegoesp]

Sounds like a tailoring for your special scenario. Remember that you can do it yourself. Code is there for you to do it, and you can issue him a pull request afterwards. It doesn't seem fair to me that you require @samholmes to tailor it for your needs; even more when he was kind enough to take the trouble to bring this to us. Just my opinion anyway :)

Best !

It's not for me, the point of syntax-highlighting is that it automatically detects the right syntax for a language and highlights the proper stuff, so it's really for everyone who uses it. No one should be forced to use only one syntax or have to set stuff to be drilled in to Sublime.

[samholmes]

@ilanbiala No one is forcing you to use any syntax because you can switch between them easily with a few keystrokes. If you'd like to take the time to figure out how to automatically detect which syntax to use, I'm more than open to a pull request with this feature as @diegoesp suggested. I unfortunately do not have the time.

However, what I should do is make it remember the last selected template, so that way you don't have to switch for every file you open.

Like I said in 2014, I'm open to a PR on this one. As of right now the plugin supports you choosing between the two EJS styles of code. It would be cool if my plugin could detect between the two styles, but I'm not too familiar as to how this would be done (so a PR would be greatly appreciated).
