Xcode HTML Support

Does Xcode officially support HTML? I created a .html file and Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code will autocomplete, make suggestions, etc. However when I open the same file in Xcode, it seems to just be a normal text editor. Thank you for your input!

Xcode's purpose is not as an HTML/CSS development tool. It understands C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++, and all other language text is treated as dumb text.


Other editors such as Sublime Text, and Textastic are not only HTML/CSS aware, but include support for Emmet. Sublime Text can be extended with optional, free Python3-based packages to extend the smart editor further, with developer enhancements for HTML/CSS coding.
