Force web-mode.el Engine

Question

In my django project I use basic .html files for my templates.

I want to force the django engine from web-mode.el so I don't have to constantly change between .html and .djhtml.

I've tried the following

(setq web-mode-engines-alist
      '(("django"    . "\\.html\\'"))
      )

with no luck.

Anyone had any success in this? Should I try out a different plugin?

Answer 1

Your configuration works for me.

You can force the engine like this:

(add-hook 'web-mode-hook (lambda ()
 (web-mode-set-engine "django"))
