How To Get Html Template In Vs Code

by

In this blog post, we will discuss how to quickly generate an HTML template in Visual Studio Code (VS Code). This can help you save time when creating new HTML files, as you won’t have to manually type out the basic structure of an HTML document.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

Once you have Visual Studio Code installed, follow these steps to quickly generate an HTML template:

  1. Create a new file in VS Code by selecting File > New File or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + N.
  2. Save the file with an .html extension by selecting File > Save As or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + S.
  3. Type ! in the empty file, and you will see a drop-down list of suggestions. Select the first suggestion that comes up, which should be an HTML5 template.

After following these steps, you should have a basic HTML document structure that looks like this:

    
    
    
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>Document</title>

Customizing the HTML Template

If you want to customize the default HTML template that gets generated, you can create your own custom code snippets in VS Code. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. In VS Code, click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner of the window and select Settings.
  2. In the Settings editor, type “snippet” in the search bar, then click on the Edit in settings.json link under Editor: User Snippets.
  3. Click on the New Global Snippet file… button and provide a name for your snippet file.
  4. In the new file that opens, you can create your own custom code snippet for an HTML template. For example, you can create a snippet like this:

{
“HTML Custom Template”: {
“prefix”: “htmltemplate”,
“body”: [
“”,
“”,
“”,
” “,
” “,
” $1“,
“”,
“”,
” $0″,
“”,
“”
],
“description”: “Custom HTML Template Snippet”
}
}

Save the file, and now when you type htmltemplate in a new HTML file, your custom template will appear as a suggestion.
