ST3 – Use html formatting in non-html file

[shaneisme]

I’ve been attempting to Google around, but I’m thinking I don’t know the correct terminology for finding the answer.

I’m using gulp-file-include to include HTML partials into my files (head, nav, etc.). I’m using *.template for all partials so gulp-file-include won’t pass them into my /dist folder (I’m watching /html/**/*.html for changes).

Example file structure:

--html
  |
  --partials
      header.template
      footer.template
  --index.html

In Sublime Text when editing any *.template file, it obviously has no idea that I want to show HTML syntax (also include auto-completion, etc.). What option / setting am I looking for to tell ST3 to say “when you come across a *.template file treat it like HTML”?

Note: I can technically just tell gulp-file-include exactly what HTML files to build, but I like doing things the hard way and wanted to learn ;)

Alternatively, you can do the following:

Preferences -> Browse Packages -> User -> HTML.sublime-settings

You should see this:

{
    "extensions":
    [
        "htm",
        "html"
    ]
}

Change it to this:

{
    "extensions":
    [
        "htm",
        "html",
        "template"
    ]
}

Save and restart Sublime.

Well, then I guess I did it the hard way =P. Glad it works the same way so you don’t have to hard-edit the settings file.
