Abbreviations

One of the most powerful features of SoulSections is its use of Emmet, an abbreviation-expanding library that drastically speeds up the process of writing HTML.

Emmet was designed to allow developers to type a short abbreviation (like ‘div’) and hit the Tab key to expand that abbreviation into a completed <div> tag:

{}

It’s an absolute godsend if you spend your day writing code, and it makes writing HTML the ‘old’ way feel like torture.

But the real, game-changing power of Emmet is that it allows developers (like me) to author custom abbreviations that produce larger, richer snippets of HTML.
