"auto_complete_selector": "text, meta.tag - punctuation.definition.tag.begin, source - comment - string.quoted.double.block - string.quoted.single.block - string.unquoted.heredoc",
I just add text scope into auto_complete_selector and it works. Nothing related to Emmet sorry. To be less aggressive, you may add text.html rather than text.
Emmet uses ! and then tab.
Thank you for your replay.
And where is this auto_complete_selector? How do I go there?
PS
If Emmet is in the right corner and I do ! and tab nothing happens also…
For Emmet, I don’t know. I test it and it works on a clean/portable ST 2.0.2 Win x64 with just package control and emmet installed.
OK - this works - thank you 
But, what I want is to get following when I type html+tab:
"
!DOCTYPE html>
html>
head>
title>
/head>
body>
/body>
/html>
"
thank you, this is more or less what I wanted
But it is a little too much.
Thank you anyway - now I know what I should look for.
This is cool with this New File > and choosing type
I will stay with this for the moment, but will still look for this html + tab.
Thank you very much!
How about HTML5? You have to type “HTML5” (without the quotes) plus TAB to get a basic template. Plus, you get other snippets but you will have to experiment, as there is little documentation for this package.
The Emmet plugin is the best one out there. But it needs PyV8 binaries to be downloaded. Did you get a prompt about some error in loading PyV8 binaries while installing Emmet?
No, I don’t have any errors in relation to Emmet, but !+tab does not work either, when Emmet is displayed in the right corner…
I saved empty file as test.html and is not working…
For the moment I am using SublimeTmpl…
You do know that for Emmet to work, you have to manually set the file type to HTML.
When I do that, with Emmet installed, and type HTML + Tab, I get <HTML></HTML>.
I need more than that. I set up my own custom HTML template and open it when I need it.
I don’t use Emmet because it used to conflict with other plug-ins I had.
You could disable all your other packages except Emmet and see if it works. (restart Sublime)
If it works, enable your other packages one at a time until Emmet doesn’t work. (restart Sublime each time)
Then you can decide whether to keep Emmet or the conflicting package.
If that doesn’t work, perhaps you need to re-install Sublime Text.
At least on Sublime Text 3 this works without any plugins. I suggest you stop using ST2 since it is no longer maintained.
With ST3 you can type “html” and press Tab to get base HTML 5 compliant document with base tags.
I have ST3, and you’re correct, it does give a base document but it’s confusing to use.
I prefer HTML Boilerplate or my own custom templates. What’s wrong with using packages?
Nothing wrong with packages. But someone said here that you NEED a package to use html snippet. With ST3 that is not true.
Make sure file type is set to HTML on the bottom-right box below the window.
Just leaving a comment because i was having trouble with this same thing but then figured it out a minute later… Make sure you have your file saved as a .html for html + tab to work.
I start off my html files like this:
cmnd + N to open a new file
cmnd + S to save/name “blahblah.html”
(shift + cmnd + s to rename)
html then tab and youre ready to roll
Hope this helps someone!
I’m a newbie and had the same trouble, in terminal subl index.html or just save a .html file in Sublime 3, then type ! TAB (no spaces)
I suppose ! is short for !doctype and so autocompletes the rest…Like I said I’m a newbie so still breaking stuff
