skewer-mode VS web-mode

I am trying to get skewer-mode to work, in particular, I want to see changes I make to html files in emacs to be automatically updated in the corresponding browser window. I have tried to follow the descriptions on the package's GitHub page and also this Emacs Stack-Exchange post, but neither of these affords me the "live change" I seek, and most other guides don't regard HTML, but only CSS or Javascript (which I'll also need, but that's for later).

Yes, sure. It depends on what language you use. Here is LSP in emacs. This one is like live server on vs code.But if you use something like Django I think you don't have to worry about live server. .

I've been looking around for a bit and the closest I found was skewer, but I can't seem to get it to work and it doesn't seem to be quite what I want either. All I need is to be able to serve a directory as an HTTP server and have it auto-reload in my browser when I save any of the js, html, css, etc files in the directory.

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!
