Description Waqar Ahmed 2021-03-22 11:39:52 UTC

SUMMARY

For "react-js" developers, it is common to have JSX code in javascript files mixed with javascript syntax. Currently, JSX doesn't get highlighted at all if the file has ".js" extension

OBSERVED RESULT

JSX code in javascript files doesn't get highlighted

EXPECTED RESULT

JSX code in javascript files gets highlighted

Comment 1 Jonathan Poelen 2021-03-25 02:35:19 UTC

This is configurable (for Kate) in Settings -> Configure Kate -> Open/Save -> Modes & Filetypes -> File extensions

Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2022-08-23 21:01:41 UTC

Yes, you can configure this, we can't just use the JSX highlighting for JS files per default.
