Example 1

Example 2

I'm in my first week of learning programming and I'm having some issues with Emmet abbreviations in VS code. I think I have it configured correctly in settings as it does seem to work in the beginning of a new text file (I'm using html:5 at the moment to start a segment as I'm going through an online class), but after I've inputted some commands like header, paragraph, etc. it seems to lose the functionality. Example 1 attached is the file I was working on. The course wanted me to go back and add my first attribute, that being an anchor, however when I do, it doesn't give me any Emmet options when I start typing. The overall HTML <body> element seems to be right as I dont see any incorrect colours stating a mistake, but I guess I must be doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what. When I try to open a new file like in Example 2 and typing a again, it seems to work just fine. I'm worried now about getting into some serious coding and hitting this issue as it will slow me down.

Appreciate any advice and guidance. Thanks!

  • what you call "commands" are actually "elements". what you call "attributes" are also actually "elements". It will help you to get the terminology right when talking with experts online. Being imprecise or using the wrong words tends to lead to confusion. – starball Aug 31 '23 at 17:46
  • Please provide an exact, minimal procedure to reproduce the behaviour you're seeing instead of a general description. I cannot reproduce the behaviour with just the description you have provided. – starball Aug 31 '23 at 17:47
  • Please copy and paste the output of the `Help: About` command (run in [the command palette](//code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette)) into your question post. Does this happen when you reload VS Code with extensions disabled (use the `Developer: Reload With Extensions Disabled` command in the command palette)? If not, then do an [extension bisect](//code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/02/16/extension-bisect) to figure out what extension is causing it. – starball Aug 31 '23 at 17:48
