Description

Jisp needs syntax highlighting for HTML and language modules for common code editors: Sublime Text, Atom, Emacs, and others.

It might be nice if parentheses were dimmed. Should make them more palatable for parenthesophobes without compromising the code structure, and generally improve readability.

In the meantime, you can use syntax highlighting for one of the other Lisp dialects.

Done means Jisp has usable highlighting modules for the requested editors, with parenthesis dimming treated as an optional readability improvement.
