Description
Prettier added in their [v3.8.0](https://prettier.io/blog/2026/01/14/3.8.0) support for formatting `angular-ts` and `angular-html` fenced code blocks.
Now we're only missing proper highlighting which the vscode extension should be able to provide.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the VS Code extension's markdown syntax-highlighting definitions and review how fenced language identifiers are mapped. Add support for `angular-ts` and `angular-html`, then verify that both fenced blocks receive proper highlighting in markdown files.
