Not a coder/developer per se. My experience is limited to HTML dev for email specifically. Most of the time, I copy the code from our platform and paste it into a new file, make my edits, copy and paste back into our platform. I rarely save files outside of our platform. VS Code always autodetected the HTML, and my Live Preview worked perfectly. After the latest VS Code update two days ago, it no longer identifies our code as HTML but rather as CSS, or worse, as Plain Text. I can click the language in the status bar and select HTML but what a pain!
All of our code starts with a doctype declaration and with to accommodate Outlook/Live. I don't know how that is completely ignored.
I would appreciate any assistance that can help fix this!
- I have HTML CSS Support (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ecmel.vscode-html-css) installed. After discovering the issue I noticed it had an update, so installed the update hoping that would solve. Did not.
- I changed my settings so that the default new file type is HTML. Pasting my code in seemed to override that, and I had to manually set the language back to HTML.
- I've wasted 2 hours looking into possible solutions, trying to find some post somewhere about someone with a similar issue. Nada.
Most online info about VS Code is written with the assumption that users have a certain base level of knowledge of coding and the tools used and I am so far below that level. If anyone could help me out, and explain it to me like I'm a child, I would appreciate it!
