Describe the feature

Implement syntax highlighting for .ejs files as they are still quite relevant to this day. And the Earlie ace implementation had syntax highlighting for it.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Hmm, we can handle it in https://github.com/Acode-Foundation/acode-additional-langmodes I think

@MagicDevM Hey I tried implementing a syntax highlighting for it, but I hit a road block as EJS is mixture of html, CSS, JavaScript and its own syntax sugar. The problem is if I have the below code and I commented out the h2 line, What Comment syntax are we expecting is it a html comment or an EJS Comment to be inserted?

Code:

<% if (user) { %>
  <h2><%= user.name %></h2>
<% } %>

Well I too didnt knew about this earlier but now after testing I can confirm that it is the HTML comment that correctly works(<!--code) when using '//' it just prints '//'
Thank you.

@MagicDevM Great, Thanks for the confirmation. I expected it to be like that, just needed a bit confirmation.

Just a question will it support auto tag renaming & tag completion? As the old ace implementation didnt(only syntax highlighting)...

1. What are you aiming for auto tag renaming. HTML tag renaming or EJS Tags renaming?
2. basic tag suggestions popup for html and JS.
