[html] Please provide a built-in HTML.tmLanguage file

[haoqunjiang]

Lots of template languages extend html syntax.

Since popular text editors such as sublime text and atom usually have built-in HTML.tmLanguage file, most online syntax definition files just simply add an include: text.html.basic field in them.

However, Visual Studio Code does not have that built-in syntax definition file, thus forcing language extension authors to manually include an HTML.tmLanguage file. This feels awkward. I don't want to redefine HTML syntax in every single language extension I wrote.

So, please provide a built-in HTML syntax definition file for language extension authors!

So what exactly have happened here? How to use it? I can't see anything in the update log and/ordocumentation.

[aeschli]

The built in HTML extension now contains the html text mate grammar and declares the scope name text.html.basic.
The HTML editor mode in VSCode doesn't the text mate grammar yet, but other language extensions, that depend on the html text mate grammar to be present, profit from this. The issue description above is a good summary.

this feature will be usefull to develop extensions like Django/Jinja/Tornado templates support for example

@aeschli Emmet are not fired on langagues that use HTML (Jinja, Tornado, Django...etc), how to activate it?

In Atom, I added this atom-text-editor[data-grammar="text html tornado"]:not([mini]) in the keymaps, I checked the emmet docs and dident found the value to put in preferences?
