How do I modify the VS Code HTML formatter? - html

Currently trying to write some HTML for something. VS Code did an update yesterday and now the auto-formatter (Alt+Shift+F) is a different set of options and is overriding everything.
How do I access that specifical file to modify it. I currently have "Prettier" installed but it does not handle HTML

Right-click in your text editing area and choose Format Document With.... A popup will appear on top then choose Choose default formatter and then choose Prettier

You can trigger suggestions at any time by pressing Ctrl+Space.
To improve the formatting of your HTML source code, you can use the
Format Document command Ctrl+Shift+I to format the entire file or
Format Selection Ctrl+K Ctrl+F to just format the selected text.

Atom editor custom made file template

I currently use ATOM as my text editor for HTML files and etc. My headers, nav bar, and footer are usually all the same. Is there a way or package that I can install that will allow me to have this autocomplete as a shortcut for any HTML file that I am working on?
Example:
I open an atom file
Save as HTML
Type in a button or do something
Page will have all my custom made HTML code
That way I don't have to re-entering it or etc.
To do this in Atom, you're probably looking for the snippets feature. This lets you auto-insert arbitrary content as you need, and you can specify your own snippets - like your standard header, footer etc. You can even create shortcuts so your snippets are automatically expanded.
Once you've found the snippets feature, do let us know if you have any problems getting it to do exactly what you need. Most text editors will have something similar - it's a common use case.

How to remove an embedded hyperlink in Visual Studio Code

I have a csv file I am working with in Visual Studio Code(VSC). The file contains several hyperlinks attached to text in the document. For example:
Available at SSRN: [https://ssrn.com/abstract=3261275][1]
I want to remove these hyperlinks. I checked the basic editing documents for Visual Studio Code. However, they provide no guidance on how to edit text in Visual Studio Code. Rather, the only available information is on editing text in VSC is how to develop or use keyboard shortcuts. And, after looking through all off the keyboard shortcuts - I have not been able to find a command to remove a hyperlink or clear text formatting.
If this were a word document I could simply right-click and select remove hyperlink or select the clear formatting icon. However, I have been unable to discover how to perform this function in VSC.
How do I remove a hyperlink from text in CSV file in Visual Studio Code?
Thanks!
// Controls whether the editor should detect links and make them
clickable.
"editor.links": true,
That is the default, set it to false in your settings.json.
If you want to set it to false for certain filetypes only, you would use something like:
"[plaintext]": {
"editor.links": false,
},

Disable decoding of HTML entities in Chrome developer tools

I am working in Chrome developer tools and looking for a way to show HTML entities by default.
The view I see is this:
Whereas, the view I need is this:
Does anybody know how I can enable the view I need?
I know there is a theme engine for Chrome but is there an existing feature that fits my needs?
Thanks guys ;)
I had this same question and discovered that with chrome, right-click > View Source code, shows the pure un-decoded(un-evaluated) html entities while the right-click > inspect option seems to evaluate them... may help someone:)
In Google Chrome the correct way to see the actual source of the document that is currently loaded is to click the Sources tab and choose the file from the tree on the left. If you have a unique string on the line that you're searching for, you can press Ctrl-Shift-F to search all files for that string.
RightClick -> View Source is incorrect because it reloads the document, which may cause unexpected behaviour.
Inspect Element is incorrect because it displays the current DOM, not the HTML source.
You can't: The DOM Inspector shows a view of the DOM, not the source code.
The HTML has already been parsed and the entities converted to characters in text nodes.
The Inspector shows an HTML-like view because it is easy to understand. It doesn't reflect the original source code.
Browsers have an explicit "View Source" feature if you want to see the source code.

Open html file in a new tab instead of downloading it

For my Trac plugin, I have made an export script which converts contents to a different format. The result is an HTML code.
When I click the link, some browsers open the HTML code in a new tab, while others offer to download it as a .print file, depending on their specific settings I think. Opening this .print file shows the same HTML page as opening it directly, but locally instead of from the server.
How can I force it to always open in a new tab?
I think it might be a mimetype issue. If it is, which mimetype can I use to tell the browser to open the HTML code directly? I am currently using text/html as mimetype.
EDIT: some more info
To give some more insight, adapting from a comment of mine below:
I do not create the link myself. The link is provided by Trac, the bug tracking software the plugin is for, and what I do is implement the method that creates the HTML code and let it return the HTML code along with the mimetype. Trac then returns the HTML code either as a file, or as a new tab, when clicking on that content conversion link. What I am searching for is a possibility to specify in the HTML code or mimetype that it gets opened in a new tab directly.
Maybe there is some kind of mimetype specifying the (HTML) text as an HTML web document instead of HTML file (if that distinction even exists).
Or an HTML/XML header or doctype specifying whether it gets downloaded or opened by a browser. I think the browser need to get that information from somewhere.
Or maybe there is an option to set in Trac.
I hope these ideas of mine about what could exist can help those of you who are versed with either or some of these to find a solution. I could not find a solution through my research yet.
If you have a link that "directly" opens (not in a new tab) and you want it to open a new tab, one way of doing it is
This will create a blank page, then paste the link there automagically and thus you will have a new tab with the desired page.

Make sublime text recognize .block filetype as a .html file

I have been working with SquareSpace. The developer mode allows you to customize some of their files which consist of filetypes like, .block, .region, wtc.
However, they are just html files with json-t scattered throughout.
Is there anyway I can get the editor to recognize those file types as html so that I can use autocomplete and just get a better view as to what I'm looking at?
Thanks
Open a file of that type, and click in bottom right corner on the language. Then select Open all with current extension as..., and select HTML from the list.
Press Cmd+Shift+P
Type html
Select Set Syntax:HTML
