- 🎨 Automatic language injection for template strings with type annotations
- 📝 Support for
Annotated[Template, "language"]pattern - 🔤 Type alias support (e.g.,
type html = Annotated[Template, "html"]) - 🔍 Function parameter type inference
- 🌐 Support for HTML, SQL, JSON, YAML, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and more
from typing import Annotated
from string.templatelib import Template
# Define variables for the templates
title = "Welcome"
content = "Hello, World!"
user_id = 123
message = "Important notification"
# Automatic HTML syntax highlighting
page: Annotated[Template, "html"] = t"""
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<p>{content}</p>
</body>
</html>
"""
# SQL highlighting
query: Annotated[Template, "sql"] = t"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}"
# Type alias support
type html = Annotated[Template, "html"]
content: html = t"<div>{message}</div>"While this plugin itself is free and open source, certain language injection features depend on your PyCharm edition:
The following languages are supported in PyCharm Community Edition:
- HTML/XML - Full syntax highlighting and code assistance
- JSON - Full syntax highlighting and validation
- YAML - Full syntax highlighting and validation
Advanced language support requires PyCharm Professional Edition:
- SQL - Database tools and SQL dialect support are Professional-only features
- JavaScript/TypeScript - JS/TS support requires the Professional edition
- CSS - Advanced CSS features are part of the Web development toolset

Note: The plugin will still inject these languages in Community Edition, but you won't get syntax highlighting, code completion, or error detection without the corresponding language support from PyCharm Professional.
