EJS syntax highlighting in HTML files with Notepad++

Question

I am using Notepad++ to view some HTML files which also have Javascript and EJS (embedded java script, node.js rendering engine) parts. Unfortunately the syntax highlighting often looks like this:

With EJS you can insert your dynamic stuff like you would do it with PHP in HTML files. The opening tag is <% or <%= and you close it with %>.

Is there any possibility to configure Notepad++ in such a way that syntax highlighting between <% %> is ignored? Or that the whole block is treated like normal text or something?

Answer 1

You can try to use ASP syntax highlighting but you will need to use double quote because in ASP ' is a comment.

Hopefully it's helpful.
