<img src="emmet102.jpg" alt="">

<input type="date" name="" id="">

form:post

<form action="" method="post"></form>

link:css

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  • Building Navbar

.navbar>ul>li*3>a[href=#]{Item $@-}

<div class="navbar">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

CSS

Emmet works surprisingly well with css as well.

  • f:l
float: left;

You can also use any options n/r/l

  • pos:a­
position: absolute;

Also use any options, pos:a/r/f

  • d:n/b­/f/­i/ib

d:ib

display: inline-block;
  • You can use m for margin and p for padding followed by direction

mr -> margin-right

pr -> padding-right

  • @f will result in
@font-face {
font-family:;
src:url();
}

You can also use these shorthands
