Scoping JSX snippets to HTML?

[joemaller]

Just started thinking about this, but I wanted to get a conversation going.

It should be possible to scope React's JSX blocks to HTML, most likely named text.html.jsx. If that worked, wouldn't we suddenly gain access to all of the HTML tools available to Sublime? At very least, this should enable Sublime's build-in Expand Selection to Tag. Formatters/Tidy would be welcome.

I haven't looked into what they're doing, but Allan Hortle's JSX package does allow Expand Selection to Tag to function correctly.

Interesting. I wonder if it breaks eslint. It shouldn't break JSXHint because there's a transpile step there. But I think eslint only lints certain scopes. I could be mistaken. I'll investigate. Good call!

Hey @joemaller, I fixed the "Expand Selection to Tag" bug in #70. I also looked into scoping JSX as text.html.* and it didn't really work with other HTML tools as you suggested. If you have any luck with this, PRs are welcome or open another issue.
