Wrong default syntax highlighting in sublime text 3

votes

I can't remember touching any related configuration, and for no reason, Sublime chooses "LaTeX Log" highlighting syntax as default for *.html files. I opened the Syntax Specific settings file and it's empty (?)

What can I do in order to get the proper highlighting for html files automatically?

Changing the syntax highlighting for any file type is easy in Sublime. Simply open a file with the extension you want to change, then click on View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... and choose whichever language you wish. This will add the current extension to the "extensions" list in Packages/User/LanguageName.sublime-settings, where LanguageName is the syntax you chose, such as HTML in this case.
