You could install emmet package and then write html:5 and press tab, it should work.

my experience with atom on Kali-Linux as follows: typing html and hitting return does this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>

  </body>
</html>

typing html and hitting the tab does this:

<html></html>

should have the right packages installed.

Hi David,

I don't use Atom anymore (for personal reasons) but I do have some experience with it.

Follow these steps:

  1. Restart Atom
  2. Try different case for the word (i.e. "html" or "HTML") without any tags or symbols.
  3. If the steps above didn't work, try ("!" or "doc" or "doctype") then it should work.

Hopefully This helps.

Shay :smiley:
