working on a PHP project, but the HTML in my PHP is not highlighting.
I'm not sure why, but html by itself will.
When I installed beautify, per another posts recommendation, my user settings did not update. So I went to the github repo to add the configuration for beautify manually.
Here is the code snippet I added and updated in my user settings.
"beautify.language": {
"js": {
"type": ["javascript", "json"],
"filename": [".jshintrc", ".jsbeautifyrc"]
// "ext": ["js", "json"]
// ^^ to set extensions to be beautified using the javascript beautifier
},
"css": ["css", "scss"],
"html": ["htm", "html", "php", "blade"]
// ^^ providing just an array sets the VS Code file type
}
But it's still not setting html styles within php. any advice?

I don’t see how some code formatting extension is related to syntax highlighting...? – Daniel B – 2019-11-09T18:45:17.380
The extension is the solution that was recommended in another post. Essentially, .php files that have html code, will not high-light the html code portions, only stuff within the php tags. beautify is supposed to apply HTML highlighting and php highlighting to the same file. – thinker – 2019-11-10T19:51:09.097
