About Emmet
Emmet (which is built into VS Code) lets you type HTML and CSS code faster.
Its main feature is expandable code abbreviations. You type a few characters and Emmet expands the abbreviation into the full code.
It also has commands (which don’t have keystrokes by default, although you can assign them) to make it easier and faster to code HTML and CSS.
