Currently in ST, all files start out blank. Coming over from Dreamweaver, where opening a new HTML 5 document would open a document that already had the bones of a valid HTML5 document, I’m wondering if there’s any way to do this in Sublime? I understand you could use snippets, but if it could be accomplished as soon you open a document, it could come in really useful to pre-fill other types of documents, too.
Thanks, appreciate any help.
There is HTML Boilerplate at Package Control.
You have to type in “htmlboiler” + TAB to make it work. It isn’t automatic, but it saves typing the HTML skeleton.
I don’t think that there is anything like what you want for Sublime Text. ST is an editor, not an IDE.
Or, you could create your own HTML5 template, save it, then open it up when you need it.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t really see the point of installing a package for that, as that’s basically what Snippets is for, and it comes pre-packaged.
Thanks so much!
This is perfect, accomplished near-enough exactly what I wanted. The other file presets are currently more than I need, but I’ll be using the key binding shortcut for the HTML one quite often. The only thing I’m wondering now is if it’s at all possible to create a GUI welcome screen that opens and displays a list of those documents, which worked perfectly for me when using Dreamweaver, though I suspect it might be outside of the remit of Sublime.
Thanks again.
