 * I edit my code in a text editor. I’m currently using Atom. The editor does syntax
   highlighting for the HTML portions of the code, which is useful, but I was wondering
   if there was a way to get it to color-code the bracketed code as well. If CCS
   code is uniquely formatted, then the only answer would be to create our own language
   package, but if CCS follows the format of some other language, then perhaps we
   could just select that language. I don’t know enough about CCS and all other 
   languages to know if CCS’ templating format is unique or not.
