### Configuring Language Servers for a language
The `language-servers` attribute in a language tells helix which language servers are used for this language.
They have to be defined in the `[language-server]` table as described in the previous section.
Different languages can use the same language server instance, e.g. `typescript-language-server` is used for javascript, jsx, tsx and typescript by default.
In case multiple language servers are specified in the `language-servers` attribute of a `language`,
it's often useful to only enable/disable certain language-server features for these language servers.
For example `efm-lsp-prettier` of the previous example is used only with a formatting command `prettier`,
so everything else should be handled by the `typescript-language-server` (which is configured by default)
The language configuration for typescript could look like this:

Each requested LSP feature is priorized in the order of the `language-servers` array.
Each requested LSP feature is prioritized in the order of the `language-servers` array.
For example the first `goto-definition` supported language server (in this case `typescript-language-server`) will be taken for the relevant LSP request (command `goto_definition`).
If no `except-features` or `only-features` is given all features for the language server are enabled.
If a language server itself doesn't support a feature the next language server array entry will be tried (and so on).
The list of supported features are:
