I've download the latest Visual Studio Code and am trying to write some HTML code. For example, <div>, <a>, <p> tags. However, there are no HTML suggestions in Visual Studio Code:
I've read this article and it says:
Visual Studio Code provides basic support for HTML programming out of
the box.
However, I've tried to install HTML extension:
In addition, I've turned on HTML5 suggestion in settings.json file:
{
"workbench.colorTheme": "Visual Studio Light",
"workbench.activityBar.visible": true,
"editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd",
"window.zoomLevel": 0,
"html.suggest.html5": true,
}
Nevertheless, HTML, CSS suggestion does not work.
What can I do to code with suggestions?
I think the issue is that Visual Studio Code is not detecting the file type correctly. If you notice in these pictures, vscode has correctly detected that I am writing a html file by the icon <> beside the file name and the language indicator in the bottom right of the screen.
The language indicator most likely says plain text in your case. Click on it and a menu should appear at the top centre of the screen. Then try the following:
Enabling Auto Detect. I think this will be the first option.
Selecting Configure File Association for '.html'...
2 can also be accomplished by adding
"files.associations": { "*.html": "html" }
to your settings.
OR just add to settings.json (File -> Preferences -> Settings):
{
// Configure file associations to languages (e.g. "*.extension": "html"). These have
//precedence over the default associations of the languages installed.
"files.associations": { "*.html": "html" },
}
Just go to "File -> Preferences -> Settings"
Search for "Associations"
Check this image
Go to
File > Preferences > settings > Extensions > Emmet
Then click on
( C:\Users\Code\User\settings.json ) #
for reference
Add the following code:-
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true,
"files.associations": {"*html":"html"},
Save the file.

Trying out Windows Terminal customization via settings.json. I found a profiles.json that follow the new conventions closely enough to work when pasted into settings.json, (I know it took because the theme changed). The problem is that changes to "fontFace" are not having any effect. I'm trying to use a nerd font for some powerline stuff, works in Powershell running in ConEmu but not in Windows Terminal. Here is the relevant portion of settings.json:
{
"$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
"defaultProfile": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
// You can add more global application settings here.
// To learn more about global settings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-global-settings
// If enabled, selections are automatically copied to your clipboard.
"copyOnSelect": false,
// If enabled, formatted data is also copied to your clipboard
"copyFormatting": false,
// A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
// Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,
// and can be invoked from the commandline with `wt.exe -p xxx`
// To learn more about profiles, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-profile-settings
"profiles":
{
"defaults":
{
// Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles.
"cursorShape": "vintage",
"fontFace": "Iosevka Nerd Font"
},
"list":
[
{
// Make changes here to the powershell.exe profile.
"guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
"name": "Windows PowerShell",
"commandline": "powershell.exe",
"hidden": false,
"fontFace": "Iosevka Nerd Font",
"colorScheme": "PowerShellTom",
"useAcrylic": true,
"acrylicOpacity": 0.8
},
{ ...
I get the same behavior in Windows Terminal Preview, which is supposed to be the least "bleeding edge" version.
Even trying non-nerd fonts for "fontFace" has no effect, however, "fontSize" will work.
For people who are coming from SCOTT HANSELMAN article (especially from the third step)
Install Cascadia Code for all users
Change the "fontFace" property in the settings.json like this
Shortcut to open settings.json: Ctrl+Shift+, (comma)
here is the code to copy
"profiles": {
"defaults": {
"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL"
// Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles.
}
}
This is the only way I made that work (after 2 hours or trying)
Change the fontFace from "Iosevka Nerd Font" to just "Iosevka"; the fontFace attribute expects a font family, as far as I'm aware this isn't in the documentation and I only found it out after reading this issue on the WT github
I wanted to install MesloLGS NF Regular as a recommended font for Powerlevel10k in WindowsTerminal for WSL:
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/font.md
To make it work I had to:
Install it for all users as #hakan-fıstık showed in his answer.
Change the "fontFace" in settings.json to "MesloLGS NF" (Supplying full names of fonts is not working as supposed to).
Be sure to change size of font (changing font may make it huge): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-appearance
From a comment to the Issue I opened on Windows Terminal's GitHub page, (#6606), I was directed to another fontFace problem where choosing another font would not stick if you reopened WT, (not quite the problem I was having).
Anyway, the current solution to that is to uninstall any font you want to use, then right-click and choose "Install for all users". Double-click the file to open the sample view, and use the font name found just below the the two buttons. use the spaces in the font name as is in your settings.json file.
This worked for MesloLGL NF, but not Iosevka NF.
In my experience, editing the 'settings.json' file manually creates more issues than it resolves. The easiest way to edit the default font of your terminal is as follows:
Open the settings
Select Ubuntu under the 'Profiles' header on the sidebar
Scroll down to 'Additional Settings' and select 'Appearance'
Under the text header, change the 'Font face' attribute to your preferred font
Open 'settings.json' to view changes
You should see the expected format for selecting a font - Should you wish to edit the json file manually, you should follow this format
Save changes and exit
I've installed Django support in Visual Studio Code and associated */templates/*.html with django-html as the extension demands.
However, it can't auto-compete HTML Tags as I've done so.
And if I just associate HTML with itself, then it can't intellisense Django Template code.
How can I autocompleting both?
I managed to do so by:
installing the Django extension
adding the following configuration to my workspace settings.json file:
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"django-html": "html",
}
Here is essentially the same fix, but using the VS Code UI which may make it easier for some people - especially if your new to this and your settings.json file has not been generated yet.
In VS Code go to File -> Preferences -> Settings
Once there you can switch to the 'Workspace' tab if you want this setting to only be for this project/workspace, or stick with the 'User' tab if you want this on all projects/workspaces.
Open the 'Extensions' item in the list and click on 'Emmet'.
Under 'Include Languages' click the 'Add Item' button. Fill it in with:
Item: django-html
Value: html
and click the 'OK' button.
This will add the setting for you to your settings.json file, or generate you a new settings.json file if you don't have one.
Note: To get the autocomplete/generate to work you might need to type your tag without the brackets e.g. li (not <li>), then press enter to get <li></li>
As namespace_Pt said, I tried it and it works. I will list which extensions are in my Visual Studio Code installation.
Django 1.2.0
Visual Studio IntelliCode (I tried, and it works without this one)
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"django-html": "html",
}
I added it, at the end of the settings.json file. I find the file from the settings's search bar. Just undo what Visual Studio Code added itself and add the code above. Don't forget to add a comma.
Where you find the .json file in settings
How it looks like after I added it
Follow the steps:
Install this as your extension: Django
Write the lines of codes in settings.json of your Visual Studio Code:
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"django-html": "html",
}
How can I get settings.json?
Answer: The menu command File → Preferences → *Settings (Code → Preferences → Settings on Mac) provides entry to configure user and workspace settings. You are provided with a list of Default Settings. Copy any setting that you want to change to the appropriate settings. JSON file.
Works for me (vs 1.62.3) :
in file settings.json before:
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"django-html": "html",
}
include:
{
"files.associations": {
"**/*.html": "html",
"**/templates/**/*.html": "django-html",
"**/templates/**/*": "django-txt",
"**/requirements{/**,*}.{txt,in}": "pip-requirements"
},
Total file look like:
{
"files.associations": {
"**/*.html": "html",
"**/templates/**/*.html": "django-html",
"**/templates/**/*": "django-txt",
"**/requirements{/**,*}.{txt,in}": "pip-requirements"
},
"files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
"emmet.includeLanguages": {"django-html": "html"},
}
I tried everything that was listed above but nothing worked for me.
Then after much hustle I found the solution.
In your VS Code Go to..
--> File --> preferences --> settings --> workspace(if you want this setting to just be this workspace specific or "user" if you want it for all) --> extensions --> emmet--> now click on Edit in settings.json --> now in that file under the curly braces that's already given, write or copy paste this ->
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true,
"files.associations": {"*html":"html"},
and press ctrl + s to save.
It worked for me!! I hope it will work for you too.!
Please help me. I installed all extensions for html. But it doesn't work. What is can i do.
You have got your page in Django Template. Please change it to HTML! That should work.
You can change language mode on the bar below on the right from "Django Template" to "HTML" and it would work.
But if you want to use "Django Template" you can add this to your settings.json file:
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
...
"django-html": "html",
...
},
how to add it?
ctrl + ,
then press on the third icon on the top right bar,
then add the code to the file and save it
<sorry, I can't add images because my reputation is less than 10 :*(>
VS code has suddenly stopped recognizing html files (the file icon is the default one for files with no extension)
all other file extensions work just fine
except for html
the tags still work but it won't autocomplete
Adding this to file extensions worked for me:
"files.associations": {
"*.html": "html"
}
In my case, for this problem the solution was to manually add *.html to files.associations, in user settings. Its unlogical but it seems that somehow the extension wasn't associated to the type of file. Now everything works perfectly...
Go to the settings (In mac it is Code -- > Preferences --> Settings)
In the search bar search for Association.
In Files:Associations click on Add items.
update key = *.html & Value = html
Below is the screenshot for reference.
I had the same issue but none of the other solutions worked for me!
You can try this:
Go to the path where the "settings.json" file exits, for my case the path is:
C:> Users> User123 > AppData > Roaming > Code > User > settings.json
Now, paste the code in the file:
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"html": "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\"",
}
Now search for the "files.associations" section in your settings.json file:
As an example
Now if you have the "files.associations" section then just add the line there:
"*html": "html"
(don't forget to write a comma after a line if there are more lines in it)
or if you don't have a "files.associations" section, then copy paste the code there:
"files.associations": {
"*.rmd": "markdown",
"*html": "html"
},
I had the same problem in Windows 10 a few minutes ago:
Yeah, from the solutions above I did this but still had some errors:
File -- > Preferences --> Settings
In the search bar search for Files: Association.
In Files:Associations click on Add item button.
update Item = *.html & Value = HTML
As shown below:
When I saved, I got this error
Unable to write into user settings. Please open the user settings to correct errors/warnings in it and try again.
The problem is that terminal.integrated.shellArgs settings have been deprecated.
One of the answers here will help:
So I just had this problem and I figured it out the problem was from an extension that I installed which is the pyscript extension I disabled it and everything started to work again!
Well if you have pyscript extension installed, disable it. It has conflicts with html files I guess.
Or if you don't want to disable it just ctrl+shift+p then change language mode. Select configure file association for html.
This applies for any extension not just pyscript. For me it was pyscript
