Can we please see where the cursor will be inserted, that would be kind of awesome!

For example: (The first, big one shows where the cursor will be first, and then it shows each following cursor position reached by tab)

If anyone is interested in picking this one up, ping me and I can help you get started

@ramya-rao-a I'm interested! :D

@jens1o Great!

https://github.com/ramya-rao-a/vscode-emmet-helper/blob/master/src/emmetHelper.ts#L108 is where I remove the text mate style tabstops from the snippet returned form emmet.

So <img src="${1}" alt="${2}"> becomes <img src="" alt="">

And https://github.com/ramya-rao-a/vscode-emmet-helper/blob/master/src/emmetHelper.ts#L40 is where the text gets assigned to the documentation attribute of the completion item. VS Code takes care of the rest.

Happy Coding!

Once you have the vscode dev env set up, you can start by making changes directly to the javascript file emmetHelper.js in extensions/emmet/node_modules/vscode-emmet-helper.

Once you are happy with your changes, send a PR to https://github.com/ramya-rao-a/vscode-emmet-helper

Something new here?

Hey @jens1o!

Am so sorry, I didn't see your PR for this issue until now :(

And a lot has changed since you submitted the PR. Can you get the latest for the helper and merge the latest changes?
