vscode text coloring inside HTML script tag

Question

I would like JS <script type="xx"> content to be colored nicely inside my HTML document.

Right now, when adding the type to a script tag, the element text becomes uniform white, as seen below.

Of course, the JS code is colored nicely within the HTML if removing the type attribute.

Is there some setting I can modify to make this work?

Answer 1

No setting to modify. This is a known issue. From the thread it looks like syntax highlighting was working at one point for script tags with the type attribute but was lost.

Hopefully it's fixed soon. I'm seeing the same thing on VSCode 1.13.1.
