How to enable HTML syntax highlighting in Visual Studio Code on an .ntl template file?

Question

I was previously using Sublime Text editor and HTML syntax highlighting worked out of the box for .ntl files.

I have just installed Visual Studio Code and it is not applying syntax highlighting to an .ntl file.

This answer shows how to manually apply a specific syntax highlighting to the code:

But I am just wondering how you can associated .ntl files with HTML syntax highlighting.

For context, the .ntl file is used as a simple template engine in an Node.js/Express application, see:
