I drive a Tesla Model Y, the best car I've ever owned. I wish Elon Musk wasn't associated with it. If there were a good alternative to the Tesla, I would divest in a minute. I could afford to do it and would welcome the opportunity.

After dealing with Go templates (also HTML templates) for more than a year and keep loosing track of where each block {{ends}} I finally did something about it. But that didn’t work that good. So I’ve switch to the match-up plugin, which is better than the built-in matchit that I was using previously. With Neovim I’m using this setup: Plug 'andymass/vim-matchup' And this extra bit of config: require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup { matchup = { enable = true, }, } This in itself does not make template completion work, for this I just copied the Hugo template completion (which is just like Go templating) to the correct place.
