title: Add hemplate highlighting fixtures and query tests
refs:
  - docs/hemplate-syntax.md
  - docs/editor-support.md
  - REQUIREMENTS.md
---

## Objective

Create repo-owned highlighting fixtures that prove documented hemplate syntax receives stable captures while ordinary HTML remains handled by existing HTML tooling.

## Authority

`docs/hemplate-syntax.md` is the syntax authority; `docs/editor-support.md` says highlighting is HTML first with hemx overlays.

## Close when

- Fixtures cover text insertion, trusted HTML insertion, dynamic attributes, `h-if`, `h-for`, `h-key`, `h-match`, `h-case`, `data-hemx-root`, `data-hemx-slot`, `data-hemx-form`, and `data-hemx-handle`.
- Tests or golden outputs verify capture names for those tokens.
- The test path is repo-owned and does not require publishing a VS Code/Cursor/Neovim package.

## Verification

- Preferred future command: a repo-owned tree-sitter/query fixture test, once the crate/tool location is chosen.
- Until then, manual proof must name the exact editor/query runner and fixture.

## Non-goals

- Do not parse Rust expressions inside `{+ +}` beyond highlighting delimiters/expression region.
- Do not make highlights responsible for diagnostics or completion.

## Evidence

The fixture list maps directly to the documented syntax surface.
