Possible to omit closing tag

[coreyworrell]

Many times I am writing code and need to just type out the opening tag. Would be great to possibly have option of a different key combo (tab+shift?, idk) that would omit the closing tags.

.row|
<div class="row">|

.row>a|
<div class="row">
    <a href="|">

Thank you.

Hello,
Can you please help me understand this ? Do you mean like you don't want a closing tag ?
Thanks in advance.

[coreyworrell]

Yes that's what I mean. Quite often I need to adjust existing HTML, usually to wrap some block with another element. But sometimes to be able to change a wrapper from one thing to another, while leaving the closing tag as is.

But when you create a tag, using emmet, doesn't the cursor stay after the opening tag which will help us to add elements within it ?

[coreyworrell]

Of course, that is the issue. I already have the tags within it written out. So if I were to use Emmet, I would then have a sibling element, instead of a parent element.

Oh yeah , I get it now. Thanks!

[coreyworrell]

Ok cool, thank you!

So there is this option in Atom,
Select the contents you want to wrap
Click on Packages ->Emmet
You'll find the option called "Wrap with Abbreviation"
And then , you can add the parent element, So that it will be abbreviated by wrapping the elements.

Hope it solved the issue ! :)

Yes, I use Sublime and it has a similar feature, where it opens a little input field for you to type the wrapping element. But it could still be handy to have option to leave out all closing tags. But I understand this is probably not worth the effort for the relatively low usage.
Thanks for help!
