Extension is not working

[nirmalsinghoo7]

I have enabled all of the required settings. But the extension is not working.

But it's not working. It just highlights whole tags.
It has to highlight the selected tag. Please see the screenshot. I have marked the selected div.

Could you check if your console says anything?

It could also be that the highlighting that vscode puts on top in html files hides or overrides the one added by the extension - could you try creating a new file, and setting language as javascript, and pasting in:

<div attr></div>

then put cursor anywhere on attr (this will not trigger vscode highlighting) and see if it's working like this:

Yes, It's showing two errors in the console. I have tried by uninstall and install again. but not working. I have tried in a new file. I have tried by .php and .html file extension, but not working

Doesn't seem like the errors are from this extension. It could be that your settings JSON file is somehow invalid, could you try to resolve the errors, or disable other extensions - leaving only this one on?

I am having the same issue. This has occurred since and update in august in vs code. All file extensions I've tested (html, css, js, php) do not underline and highlight anymore even with all selections checked on.

Can you try to change styling settings? The default ones might be hidden behind default highlighting in vscode.

I'm seeing something similar -- well, I'm also seeing nothing, I think. Does this look like the extension is working to you?

I received no errors while creating that new file and placing my cursor in attr.

Same deal with all other extensions disabled.

I'm pretty sure I can see yellow underline. It might be that default theme settings stopped working correctly for some reason or your theme reports it's color settings incorrectly (as dark theme instead of light). You can try changing color settings for this extension, e.g. to have black underline.

Yep, you're right. It's just understated.

Looks like it doesn't work if the html is invalid. I had an extra " in an attribute, and poof, toast.

I'd probably ask the OP to paste in their full html then run it in a tool that'll validate your html and give you feedback like Prettier online (here's what I saw when I tried mine and clued in), then see if it doesn't fire back up.

So imo this isn't a great tool for debugging while you're authoring (when VSCode's tag matching still attempts to work), but is better for scanning an already perfect file. Or being the canary that tells you your html isn't quite solid. ;)
