Perhaps PHP should include embedding.php? I'm guessing this based on the conversation here: sublimehq/Packages#24

Also, maybe it'd be worth adding Jade: text.jade.

Possible to add different <scope>...<scope>s within one same file or one same line?

Right now I have this...

<snippet>
  <content><![CDATA[
import React, { Component } from 'react';

class $1 extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      $2
    )
  } 
}

export default $1
]]></content>
  <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
  <tabTrigger>react-class</tabTrigger>
  <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
  <scope>source.js</scope>
  <scope>source.jsx</scope>
</snippet>

I would like my snippet to work both in files ending in js and jsx.

Thanks

Use commas to add multiple scopes.
Example:

<scope>source.c,source.cpp</scope>

Typescript (fairly self explanatory):
<scope>source.tsx</scope> / <scope>source.ts</scope>

For people from future:

You can now check all scopes here.
And don't forget to use Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P to show the current scope (or Tools > Developer > Show Scope Name).

Thank you @mariovalney! You're a life saver.
I knew about the existence of this list and I still couldn't find it for the longest time.
I wanted to add a Sublime Snippet that works only works in *.sublime-project files. It turns out that the scope is source.json.sublime.
Now hopefully I don't forget about Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P the next time I need it in a year or so... 😕
