Probably a stupid question, but does this only work in .html files?

I'm using this as a plugin for vim, and it's amazing, but I'm having a problem. I write a lot of html, but almost exclusively as part of React JSX, meaning that it is in .js files. I haven't managed to get sparkup to expand anything in JSX. Is this possible?

In this folder we can see that the plugin only loads for html, htmldjango, smarty and xml filetypes (the last three being symlinks to the first).

If you want it for JSX files then you could:

1. Create an extra symlink in the plugin's folder for your desired filetype

   cd sparkup/vim/ftplugin
   ln -s html javascript.jsx
   

   (You might want to ask vim what your filetype is for JSX files: :set filetype?)
   (For me it is javascript.jsx)

2. Alternatively, add an event handler to your ~/.vimrc that loads the plugin when desired

   autocmd FileType javascript.jsx runtime ftplugin/html/sparkup.vim
   " or
   autocmd BufReadPost,BufNewFile *.js runtime ftplugin/html/sparkup.vim
   

I think those should work, but I haven't tested yet.

It might be a good idea to open a PR with the new symlink, for the benefit of other users.

Actually this plugin also works in markdown files... It somehow weird.
