Adding HTML Snippet Pack

In Chapter 6, Adding Code Snippets, we reviewed how code snippets can improve our productivity while we are coding. We also learned how to create, import, and remove code snippets using the Code Snippets Manager.

In Visual Studio's extension marketplace, we can find many extensions that add code snippets for different technologies by navigating to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ and typing snippet in the search bar (see Figure 14.1):

One of the most popular snippet packs for web developers is HTML Snippet Pack. With this extension, you can code in HTML faster, creating pieces of code and HTML elements after typing some charactes in the editor. Let's install this extension and see how we can create HTML elements easily using snippets.
