Adding url into <a href=""> with Emmet

Does Emmet have a syntax for adding a URL into <a href="">?

E.g.:

Syntax:

a:www.google.com

Result:

<a href="www.google.com"></a>
Solution

  • The general syntax for adding an attribute to an element in Emmet is:

    element[attr=value]

    So in this case, it'd be:

    a[href=www.google.com]

    That said, if you just do a by itself, it should automatically jump the editor cursor into the href attribute, and you can do a:link to pre-populate it with a http://. So those options might be faster/more to your tastes.

    For more information, look at the Emmet Cheat Sheet - it lists all the syntax that's available.
