This is a fork of zencoding-mode to support Emmet's feature set.

About zencoding-mode

zencoding-mode is a minor mode providing support for Zen Coding by producing HTML from CSS-like selectors. See README

About Emmet

Zen Coding has been renamed to Emmet and includes an expanded feature set.

Supported Emacs

emmet-mode is supported by GNU Emacs versions from 24.3 onward.

Installation

1. From marmalade or MELPA

If your Emacs has the marmalade or MELPA package repositories installed, just type M-x package-list-packages, search for emmet-mode, and install it.

1. Manual Installation

Just make sure emmet-mode.el is in your load-path.

2. Settings to use.

If you manually installed emmet-mode to ~/emacs.d/emmet-mode/, add the following lines to your init.el or .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs.d/emmet-mode")
(require 'emmet-mode)

If you installed from marmalade/MELPA then these you shouldn't need to do this.

Enable it by running M-x emmet-mode.

3. Optional settings

You probably want to add it to auto-load on your sgml modes:

(add-hook 'sgml-mode-hook 'emmet-mode) ;; Auto-start on any markup modes
(add-hook 'css-mode-hook  'emmet-mode) ;; enable Emmet's css abbreviation.

By default, inserted markup will be indented with indent-region, according to the buffer's mode. To disable this, do:

(add-hook 'emmet-mode-hook (lambda () (setq emmet-indent-after-insert nil)))

If you disable indent-region, you can set the default indent level thusly:

(add-hook 'emmet-mode-hook (lambda () (setq emmet-indentation 2))) ;; indent 2 spaces.

If you want the cursor to be positioned between first empty quotes after expanding:

(setq emmet-move-cursor-between-quotes t) ;; default nil

Or if you don't want to move cursor after expanding:

(setq emmet-move-cursor-after-expanding nil) ;; default t

If you want to customize Self-closing tags style:

(setq emmet-self-closing-tag-style " /") ;; default "/"

;; only " /", "/" and "" are valid.
;; eg. <meta />, <meta/>, <meta>

4. JSX Support

If current major-mode is in emmet-jsx-major-modes, then JSX features will be supported:

• Expand .class to className="..." instead of class="..."
• Expand .for to htmlFor="..." instead of for="..."
• Expand value of properties as variables: div[value={v}] -> <div value={v}></div>
• Expand variables inside text: div{{v}} -> <div>{v}</div> Note: '}' can be escaped using backslash, i.e. div{{v\}}} -> <div>{v}}</div>. Please make sure your curly braces(not counting escaped ones) are always balanced.

To enable the JSX support, add your major-mode to emmet-jsx-major-modes:

(add-to-list 'emmet-jsx-major-modes 'your-jsx-major-mode)

• jsx-mode
• rjsx-mode
• js-jsx-mode
• js2-jsx-mode
• js-mode

Usage

Place point in an emmet snippet and press C-j to expand it (or alternatively, alias your preferred keystroke to M-x emmet-expand-line) and you'll transform your snippet into the appropriate tag structure.

Development Notes

When working on emmet-mode, DO NOT directly edit emmet-mode.el. It is generated from the files in the /src directory by make. When making changes, make them to the relevant source file, then run:

make clean
make

in the root directory of your emmet-mode repository.
