This should be rather easy? Just filter the file by replacing the 
html lines by a call and turn in to d code(and import the 
includes) and keep track of the line numbers and such then pipe 
in to the Visual D engine?

This would greatly help editing dt files(having highlighting, 
intellisense, etc)

I have not used vibe.d so far, so I had a short look at some example 
diet files: providing syntax highlighting should not be super difficult, 
maybe a nice project if you want to start contributing to Visual D ;-)

For intellisense that could work as you described, though it would 
probably be slightly more involved. The diet compiler seems to be part 
of dub, that would probably have to be integrated into Visual D.
