Hello,

I’m new using sublime and I have a problem using html5 package completions. Maybe there’s a command around that should solve it and you can tell.

When I’m typing like:

<!doc

Sublime offer me to complete this to become <!doctype html (Yes, this exactly what I want). But after complete, the final row is:

<!<!doctype html

Can somebody help me?
I know it’s not a critical thing but it decrease performance because I need to comeback and erase one “<!”
I don’t used the “>” at the end of the tags here because this page html recognize it as a command

And thanks for your attention

I guess you can just type doctype Tab

<snippet>
	<content><![CDATA[<!doctype html>]]></content>
	<tabTrigger>doctype</tabTrigger>
	<scope>source.php,text.html</scope>
	<description><!doctype html></description>
</snippet>

A reasonable enhancement for that package might be a duplicate snippet with a lookbehind that sees the opening punctuation and doesn’t insert it.

Did you change the file type (syntax) to HTML when you started the file?

**diegovieira95** · February 18, 2018, 1:30pm

Yes, I did

Do this:

New File
Set syntax to HTML
type 'html" (without the quotes)
Press TAB
Press ENTER
This will give you a skeleton HTML script which you can edit.
