The Boilerplate code is not completing automatically in VScode

Question

Earlier, the boilerplate code got automatically completed after writing <DOCTYPE html>, but now it's not working and I've to write the boiler plate code myself every-time. I've tried:

1. Using HTML snippets package.
2. Uninstalling packages.
3. Re-installing Vscode. Nothing seems to work.

Any, help is deeply appreciated.

I am all new here, so if any sort of mistake is done by me in asking or specifying the question, I apologize.

Answer 1

I had this problem too. You need to change your language mode to html first. Then using ! will work. The location of language mode is in the bottom right corner of vs code

I ended up installing HTML5 Boilerplate extension by sidthesloth. The boilerplate was a bit more complete.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I found that the suggestions were turned off. Try Ctrl+Space it will turn on suggestions.

Answer 3

Its very simple. Go to setting of visual studio and search (emmet abbreviation). scroll down to bottom and then you will find a option/setting named (Emmet: Trigger Expansion On Tab). Turn it on. Now open blank file and type ! and then press tab your boilerplate will ready. Its 100% working.enter image description here
