typing html and pressing tab doesn't show the full html structure

According to this video, typing html and pressing tab in Atom doesn't show the full html structure.

Only <html></html> is shown:

<html></html>

Does anyone have the same issue?

Hi ywang04, Check you are in the "index.html tab" when you type "html" not the 'styles.css tab". That was a mistake I made.

I had the same issue. Typing "!" + TAB key or typing "html:5" + TAB key was what worked for me. You do have to save it as an html file first before the keyboard shortcuts will work.

I'm using Atom in Linux. Typing html then hitting the tab key does bring up the html structure.

Hi Shane and Seth, I found the return key takes effect instead of tab key on my computer. :)

Thanks for your suggestions.

You have to save it as an HTML file first (control S on a Windows machine, command S on a Mac), then the autocomplete will work.
