Espresso for Visual Studio Code

Developed by the pragmatica team.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for espresso template (.espresso) files
  • Built on top of HTML grammar, so all standard HTML is fully highlighted
  • Bracket matching, auto-closing pairs, and surrounding pairs for espresso template tags ({{ }} and {{{ }}})

Screenshot

TODO: add a screenshot of a .espresso file with syntax highlighting.
