title: Emacs Support for Typescript
body: <p>"How do I get Emacs to syntax highlight Typescript?"</p>
  
  <p>I'll start with the apology. I have tried and tried. Emacs 24 on Ubuntu Virtualbox VM.  Please help me!  package-refresh-contents just sits there with "Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:80"  </p>
  
  <p>(I.e. I've never managed to package-refresh-contents to work ever.)</p>
  
  <p>I've managed to configure Emacs Neotree sidebar, all sorts of customizations but nope, this one's got me stumped.
  I know it sounds like "hold my hand" with this one. But please, could someone just take me through it baby step by baby step. </p>

  <p>Please excuse any etiquette shortcomings as this is my first post ever. (gives an idea how frustrated I am) aaarggghhh!!! </p>
