Totally, very frustrating actually. I hope one day I'll get mad enough for fixing the issue myself and make a pull request!

Finally I'm a coward so I've moved on Handlebars. Punish me.

+1 I've been struggling with this for a long time.

@homerjam How can I test the updated version? Not familiar with the plugin architecture on Sublime Text.

[homerjam]

@codeclown I think you can just place the plugin files in the sublime packages directory and then restart sublime - depends what platform you're on for the location of this directory.

Just tested it and didn't work properly (i.e. same syntax issue). This could actually be a bug in Sublime Text since it seems to fail to recognize the ending tag.

This is still an issue. Solved it by simply installing atom.

Will any of the maintainers fix this?

[zachary95]

This thread still active since almost 1 year so I think you can just step through and move for another package or solution …

[NicoHinderling]

@TheSuperFly fair enough lol. Unfortunate there isn't a clear alternative

[nwoltman]

@NicoHinderling There is now a clear alternative: EJS 2

[NicoHinderling]

@nwoltman You're awesome. Thanks buddy :)

[nwoltman]

@NicoHinderling No problem :)

Sorry for the frustration. Somehow, notifications for this repo were turned of on Github, so I wasn't receiving emails about these comments.

I hope this PR merge solved the issue: https://github.com/samholmes/EJS.tmLanguage/commit/0299864473711904e94d781f0b1c09d0725f2497

Please let me know if problems continue.

[nwoltman]

The problem is still there. I don't think the changes in 0299864 actually do anything. To make it easier to copy and paste some example code, here's the code from @bondparkerbond's screenshot above (the current syntax highlighting looks exactly the same as in his screenshot).

<a href="/products">Back</a>
<% if (product) { %>
  <h1><%= product.name %></h1>
  <h3><%= product.description %></h3>
  <h3>$<$= product.base_price %></h3>
  <h3>Qty: <%= product.quantity_on_hand %></h3>
<% } else { %>
  <h1>Product not found</h1>
<% } %>
