Is there a way to make Visual Studio Code recognize HTML syntax in EJS files

I am using Visual Studio Code on a Mac to work on Node.js applications.

Is there a way to make Visual Studio Code recognize EJS files as HTML markup? I didn't see any file / scheme association in user preferences.

Actually, you can.

As Andre points out, now you can do this in the workspace settings.Go to Visual Studio Code Settings: File >> Preferences >> User Settings

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{                
// Configure file associations to languages (e.g. "*.extension": "html"). These have precedence over the default associations of the languages installed.
     "files.associations": {"*.ejs": "html"}     
 }

Click on the 'Plain text' tab at the bottom of the VS Code window and change it to HTML, screenshot below:

enter image description here

Go to Visual Studio Code Settings. File >> Preferences >> User Settings

Add this line in the settings.json.

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{                
    // Configure file associations to languages (e.g. "*.extension": "html"). These have precedence over the default associations of the languages installed.
    "files.associations": {"*.ejs": "html"}     
}

Restart Visual Studio Code.

There is an extension for .ejs support. Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and type enter.

ext install ejs-language-support
