Mastering Emmet: Write HTML and CSS code faster


z
What is Emmet?
 Emmet is a plugin for many popular text editors which
greatly improves HTML & CSS workflow

 Emmet uses different abbreviations and short


expressions depending on what's passed, and
then dynamically converts the abbreviations into
the full code. Emmet is mostly used for HTML, XML,
and CSS, but it can also be used with programming
languages.

What are the benefits of using Emmet in
VSCode for web development?
 Emmet can provide several benefits for web development in VSCode, including:

 Faster coding: Emmet enables you to write code faster and more efficiently. It allows you to type
abbreviations and expand them into complete HTML and CSS code snippets, saving you time and keystrokes.

 Improved accuracy: With Emmet, you can quickly generate complex and accurate code snippets, even if
you don't remember the exact syntax for each HTML or CSS element. This helps to reduce errors and ensures
that your code is properly structured.

 Increased productivity: Emmet can help you to be more productive by allowing you to write code more
quickly and accurately. This means that you can spend more time focusing on the design and functionality of
your web pages, rather than spending time typing out code.

 Easier maintenance: Emmet-generated code is often cleaner and more consistent, making it easier to
maintain and update over time. This can be particularly useful for larger projects where many developers are
working on the same codebase.

 Cross-platform compatibility: Emmet works with a wide range of web development technologies,
including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and is supported by many popular code editors, including VSCode.
This means that you can use the same Emmet syntax and workflows across different platforms and tools.

Emmet provides two more useful shortcuts, > and +, to
create parent and sibling elements, respectively.

 With >, you can create a child element within its


parent element.

 The + shortcut creates a sibling element, which is an


element that shares the same parent element with
the current element.
