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.
