Create .js Break Point in script within HTML file in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Is it possible to create a breakpoint in a within a .html file with Visual Studio?

I get the option to create a breakpoint within a .js file but not within an .html file (even within the tag.

<html>


<body>
    <p> testing</p>
    <script type='javascript'>
    alert('testing');
    alert ('testing2');
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Your case is so rare that this probably isn't supported. I'd suggest move your code to a separate file. — marzelin

@marzelin - are you saying that it's rare to have js inside an html page? — Clay Nichols

it's rare to debug js inside of an html file because they are (and should be for perf reasons) small & simple scripts. What do you need inline scripts for? — marzelin
