Ember is a JavaScript-based MVC framework and its tag, , probably should use default to using JavaScript syntax highlighting. I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this; if it's not, please direct me to a more appropriate solution.

  • I didn't even know the tags determined the default syntax highlighting. What happens when there's a mix?

  • I believe the first tag takes precedence.

  • People should probably be tagging it javascript too. (And why does Ember get special treatment?)

  • @Matt: So add it and/or tell them about it. I don't see how adding syntax highlighting defaults to frameworks helps anything.

  • @minitech: Sure we could, but I don't see the harm in adding the highlighting default?

  • ... Mmm although the JavaScript tag by itself isn't a perfect solution in this case... Embers' handlebar templating system creates its own issues: stackoverflow.com/questions/12462381/…

  • @minitech: Ember hasn't been the only library to get special treatment. See jQuery (and this highly relevant tweet). Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 17:49
  • @BoltClock'saUnicorn: Well, jQuery's a language now. (- Oh, that's what the tweet says.)

  • OK. It had been my understanding that items tagged with JavaScript should be about pure JavaScript not about any specific accompanying tools. I guess I misunderstood that. BTW, is manually specifying the pretty-print/syntax-highlighting no longer supported? I tried to do it here: stackoverflow.com/questions/12193600/…

I set the highlighting on the tag to "default".

Your example question looks properly highlighted to me now after I rolled back your edit that added the tag.
