While surely it did something before, I doubt it ever work correctly. Freely(!) mixing fragments of two independent languages means that you have to nest two partitioning logics in each other, or at least you have to able to look back to earlier partitions when repartitioning, and I don't see how the current partitioner could support that. Anyway, properly supporting HTML editing is a project in itself (and ideally it includes JavaScript and CSS support), and it was already done in Eclipse WTP. So I think, just like in the Eclipse PHP plugin, it should be leveraged (they call this thing a structured text editor; see also {{PHPStructuredTextPartitioner}}).

Ps.: There was an attempt on using WTP-s HTML capability long ago... I don't know how far it get though: https://github.com/angelozerr/Freemarker-Eclipse-DLTK

> As initially raised at https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-freemarker/issues/59
> latest FreeMarker Editor plugin (v of 2016) appear less functional than v of 2009, e.g. only highlight for freemarker  syntax, but not any HTML support.
> Both where installed in recent Eclipse Mars.
> Or possibly something should be configured for FreeMarker Editor to support HTML editing as well.
