Emmet Plugin for Brackets

December 11, 2017 by Brian

This powerful keyboard shortcut extentino can aid you in speeding up the code creation of your html and css.

---

You can download the plugin from here https://emmet.io/download/

Emmet takes the snippets idea to a whole new level: you can type CSS-like expressions that can be dynamically parsed, and produce output depending on what you type in the abbreviation. Emmet is developed and optimised for web-developers whose workflow depends on HTML/XML and CSS, but can be used with programming languages too.

I wasn't convinced until I read about ordered and unordered list creation with Emmet. With just a few lines I could quickly turn this:

ul>li*5

Into a full five item unordered list or if I wanted to include

A cheat sheet with the most popular combinations can be downloaded https://docs.emmet.io/cheat-sheet/. It is worth the look.
