djhtml VS web-mode

We are happy to announce that DjHTML 3.0.0 has been released! This source code formatter for Django templates correctly indents mixed HTML/CSS/JS templates, including Django template tags, and can easily be used as a pre-commit hook to automatically indent Django templates on every commit.

~ djhtml -h usage: djhtml [-h] [-i] [-c] [-q] [-t N] [-o filename] [filenames ...] DjHTML is a fully automatic template indenter that works with mixed HTML/CSS/Javascript templates that contain Django or Jinja template tags. It works similar to other code-formatting tools such as Black and interoperates nicely with pre-commit. Full documentation can be found at https://github.com/rtts/djhtml positional arguments: filenames input filenames options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -i, --in-place modify files in-place -c, --check don't modify files -q, --quiet be quiet -t N, --tabwidth N tabwidth (default is 4) -o filename, --output-file filename output filename

Did you see this post a few hours ago https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/u1w400/linting_templates/ ? Someone suggested https://github.com/rtts/djhtml

For django templates I use djhtml: https://github.com/rtts/djhtml

https://github.com/rtts/djhtml is basic, but useful in the few things it does!

I actually wrote a tool that indents HTML files by parsing it using regexes: DjHTML

Update: the latest version of DjHTML now officially supports Jinja2!

web-mode: https://web-mode.org/

Did you try web-mode? https://github.com/fxbois/web-mode/ It's the mode that made me accept HTML. There are shortcuts to: delete a node, wrap a node with another one, delete an attribute, copy a node, re-indent the buffer, go to the beginning/end of the node…

I’ve started to use emacs in my computer sciences school 30 years ago (EPITA in Paris). The Lab was surrounded by Mips, Sun, Alpha, … great time.

The only weakness of Emacs (according to me) was the lack of a good major mode (module) to edit web template : imagine editing a php block inside a javascript part embedded inside html.

After testing many modes, I started to develop web-mode (http://web-mode.org) that is now compatible with about thirty template engines. What a wondeful trip it was to discover the power of Lisp and what a pleasure it is everyday to know exactly what happens when I hit a key while editing an html file.

I am the only Emacs user in my company (kernix.com) but nothing would make me switch. I can not imagine using an editor that would not open in less than a second (or that would eat hundreds of Mo of RAM)

I Hope Emacs will see a usage surge with the inclusion of tree sitter… editing in emacs will be even faster and more robust. Not sure tree sitter is suitted for multi languages files … but for this you have web-mode ;)

web-mode should be used for .erb files, per their docs

Web Mode has support for razor pages. I used it briefly and it seems to be good. Here are the relevant parts of my config:

web-mode for editing templates

Been using web-mode recently and possess noticed that marked regions are unmarked once the cursor is moved. I use expand-region normally to mark HTML tags and then tried to move up one line and the marked region is cancelled. Using C-SPC to mark regions does not face this issue. Anyone face this issue and solve it? I know there was a similar issue with multiple cursors but ‏‏‎ that was solvable by editing a custom variable found here. Any suggestions are welcomed as I do not even know where to begin to debug this issue. Thanks!
