Consider adding more script types

Originally from @xatian in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/98507

If I open an html-file in VS-code I get nice syntax-highlighting since the content is treated as HTML. But depending on tags the language used inside the tag to highlight the code is changed.

<p>This is treated as HTML</p>
<script>
    Everything inside this tag is treated as Javascript.
</script>
<style>
    Everything inside this tag is treated as CSS.
</style>
<script type="unknown">
    Everything inside this tag is treated as HTML.
</script>
<script type="module">
    Everything inside this tag is treated as Javascript.
</script>

Is it possible to register a custom tag tied to a language?

What I actually want is <script type="text/typescript"> that changes the language inside to Typescript. If that is not possible I would also settle for a <typescript> tag since my "build-process" will process this node anyways. Maybe that is already possible somehow? If not please add it. Thank you!

Hi, is there any progress on a solution for this issue. I have similar requirement to change the language type of a script tag to Java. Thanks.

Looks like this issue is stale. Does anyone have any suggestions to do this any other way?

Alternatively, should syntax highlighting default to JavaScript if the type is unknown?
