Whenever I think I shouldn't post something because I'm covering something completely obvious, despite the fact that I missed it, I always find at least one other person who was also a bit slow in either remembering a basic tip or figuring out the simple stuff. So hey, that one person, good morning, and I hope this helps.
Alright, so if you are using Eleventy's new WebC feature, or starting to learn it, one of the first things you'll do is create a .webc

as an html
file:
After that - voila:
You also get your expected code hinting and such which is useful of course. While this particular example is for Visual Studio Code, any decent editor would support a similar configuration as well.
