When I'm editing the below example HTML page in Visual Studio Code (borrowed from Facebook's React tutorial and slightly edited), if I write any Javascript code in the script block, it is not syntax highlighted. But if I change the script block type to "text/javascript" then the syntax highlighting works. But then any React-y/JSX code doesn't work as it is wired to work through Babel.
Is there any way to have the script tag "type" attribute set to "text/babel" and at the same time have proper syntax highlighting in Visual Studio Code?

<div id="content"></div>
<script type="text/babel">
ReactDOM.render(
<div>Hello world!</div>,
document.getElementById('content')
);
</script>
</body>

I found a solution to this now.
Open up: (VS code home dir)\resources\app\extensions\html\syntaxes\html.json, and edit the regex for the script tag. That fixed the issue for me.
