VSCode not auto completing HTML

Question

Answer 1

I've encountered same problem on Mac Sierra (10.12.6) with VSCode (1.30.2), while editing an HTML file. According to the vscode documentations https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/html, the intellisense should work out of box.

Turned out that the "Language Detection" (on the right corner of editor status bar at the bottom of screen) is set to Automatic Detection, and recognized the file as django-html. When manually switched back to plain Html, everything works.

Answer 2

From the 0.3.0 release notes

HTML auto closing of tags has now been removed and replaced with smarter IntelliSense on </.

Answer 3

You could try this extension for VS Code. It has implemented the auto close tag function and would meet with your requirement:

• Automatically add closing tag when you type in the closing bracket of the opening tag
• After closing tag is inserted, the cursor is between the opening and closing tag

Answer 4

Just check the bottom of your vscode and change the language mode to HTML It might have been showing django-html or click ctrl + shift + p to change the language mode Screenshot

Now click [!] + TAB voila it's done!!!
