Emmet Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet provides a quick reference for Emmet abbreviations, a powerful toolkit for web developers that significantly speeds up HTML and CSS workflow.

Emmet abbreviation and snippet expansions are enabled by default in html, haml, pug, slim, jsx, xml, xsl, css, scss, sass, less and stylus files, as well as any language that inherits from any of the above like handlebars and php.
