Answer 3

Visual Studio Code version 1.4.0 does not support CSS intelli-sense.

I have an extension for CSS style, id and class intelli-sense for html documents:

Features:

• Style tag completion and hover.
• Style attribute completion and hover.
• Id attribute completion.
• Class attribute completion.
• Scans workspace folder for css files.
• Supports optional resource.json file for fine tuned resource selection.

Starting with the November 2016 (version 1.8) release, Visual Studio Code now fully supports IntelliSense for JavaScript in HTML.

Note that the language support doesn't follow script includes, it only knows about definitions made in the same file.
