## Basics
### Generating HTML 5 DOCTYPE

```HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
```
### Child items
Child items are created using `>`
`ul>li>p`
```html
<ul>
<li>
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
```
### Sibling Items
Sibling items are created using `+`
`html>head+body`
```html
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
```
### Multiplication
Items can be multiplied by `*`
`ul>li*5`
```html
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
```
### Grouping
Items can be grouped together using `()`
`table>(tr>th*5)+tr>t*5`
```html
<table>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<t></t>
<t></t>
<t></t>
<t></t>
<t></t>
</tr>
</table>
```
### Class and ID
Class and Id in Emmet can be done using `.` and `#`
`div.heading`
```html
<div class="heading"></div>
```
`div#heading`
```html
<div id="heading"></div>
```
ID and Class can also be combined together
`div#heading.center`
```html
<div id="heading" class="center"></div>
```
### Adding Content inside tags
Contents inside tags can be added using `{}`
`h1{Emmet is awesome}+h2{Every front end developers should use this}+p{This is paragraph}*2`
```HTML
<h1>Emmet is awesome</h1>
<h2>Every front end developers should use this</h2>
<p>This is paragraph</p>
<p>This is paragraph</p>
```
### Attributes inside HTML tags
Attributes can be added using `[]`
`a[href=https://google.com data-toggle=something target=_blank]`
```HTML
<a href="https://google.com" data-toggle="something" target="_blank"></a>
```
### Numbering
Numbering can be done using `$`
You can use this inside tag or contents.
`h${This is so awesome $}*6`
```HTML
<h1>This is so awesome 1</h1>
<h2>This is so awesome 2</h2>
<h3>This is so awesome 3</h3>
<h4>This is so awesome 4</h4>
<h5>This is so awesome 5</h5>
<h6>This is so awesome 6</h6>
```
Use `@-` to reverse the Numbering
`img[src=image$$@-.jpg]*5`
```HTML
<img src="image05.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image04.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image03.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image02.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image01.jpg" alt="">
```
To start the numbering from specific number, use this way
`img[src=emmet$@100.jpg]*5`
```HTML
<img src="emmet100.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet101.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet102.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet103.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet104.jpg" alt="">
```
## Tips
* Use `:` to expand known abbreviations
`input:date`
```HTML
<input type="date" name="" id="">
```
`form:post`
```HTML
<form action="" method="post"></form>
```
`link:css`
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
```
* Building Navbar
`.navbar>ul>li*3>a[href=#]{Item $@-}`
```HTML
<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>
```
