html input:date`

`html form:post`

`html link:css`

  • Building Navbar

`html .navbar>ul>li*3>a[href=#]{Item $@-}`

CSS

Emmet works surprisingly well with css as well.

  • f:l
    float: left;

You can also use any options n/r/l

  • pos:a­
    position: absolute;

Also use any options, pos:a/r/f

  • d:n/b­/f/­i/ib

html d:ib` display: inline-block; - <span id="26f6"

You can use m for margin and p for padding followed by direction</span

html mr` -&gt; `margin-right`html pr-&gt;padding-right- <span id="01cc">@f` will result in

@font-face { font-family:; src:url(); } You can also use these shorthands
