EJS

EJS syntax definition for Sublime Text based on its HTML, CSS and JavaScript syntax definitions.

Supported template tag variants are: <% %>. <? ?>.

Installation

Package Control

The easiest way to install is using Package Control. It's listed as EJS.

1. Open Command Palette using ctrl+shift+P or menu item Tools → Command Palette...
2. Choose Package Control: Install Package
3. Find EJS and hit Enter

Manual Install

1. Download appropriate EJS.sublime-package for your Sublime Text build.
2. Copy it into Installed Packages directory

Setting the default syntax

By default, files with the extension .ejs are opened with the EJS (<% %>) syntax.

To open files with a different extension as EJS, or to use delimiters other than <% %>, follow these steps to set the default EJS syntax for a file extension:

1. Open an EJS file
2. Select View from the menu bar
3. Then select: Syntax → Open all with current extension as... → EJS → EJS (<delimiter>)
4. Repeat for each extension you want to open as EJS

Snippets

In the HTML scope:

• if+TAB - Inserts EJS if statement
• for+TAB - Inserts EJS for loop

Troubleshooting

§1 Syntax Definition Parse Errors

EJS extends Sublime Text's HTML, CSS and JavaScript syntax definition.

If EJS syntax highlighting doesn't work and console displays syntax errors in EJS.sublime-syntax, please make sure to remove any out-dated syntax override.

Steps:

1. call Menu > Preferences > Browse Packages..
2. Look for HTML, CSS or JavaScript folder
3. Remove them or at least delete any syntax definition in it.

§2 Scripts are not correctly highlighted

EJS relies on JavaScript (source.js) to scope script blocks and inline scripts.

Make sure to remove related out-dated syntax packages, which don't meet least compatibility requirements.

They can be identified by calling e.g. sublime.find_syntax_by_scope("source.js") in ST's console.

Known candidates are:

• JavaScriptNext - ES6 Syntax
• Naomi
