WebStorm have specific JSX code autocomplete for React.js. It goes like this:
div. + Tab => <div className=""></div>
But I'm using SCSS, so I need to change autocomplete from className to styleName:
div. + Tab => <div styleName=""></div>
You can override this default behavior by creating what Jetbrains calls a "Live Template" (this feature exists in other Jetbrains products as well).
First navigate to the Webstorm Preferences. On the left you'll see a tree structure showing the preferences listed by category. Expand "Editor" to find "Live Templates".
Once you select Live Templates you're presented with a tree structure on the right that displays the Live Templates currently enabled.
On the far right side of this table you'll find a small + button which allows you to create your own Live Template.
After you select + -> Live Template you'll need to fill in the Abbreviation, Description, and Template text at the bottom.
The Abbreviation is the characters that you type in to activate this template. In this case enter div.
The Description field can be whatever you'd like to describe this template, it has no functional impact.
The Template text section is the replacement text. In this case I would use
<div styleName="$END$"></div>
Note that $END$ is a variable that puts the cursor in that spot after the live template is activated.
Lastly you need to specify which file types the Live Template should work against. Notice the phrase "No application contexts yet. Define" at the bottom of the page. Click on the word Define, in the popup menu that appears expand Javascript to find the option for JSX HTML and check it. If you'd like the Live Template to work in other cases feel free to select additional file types.

I am trying to create a TOC for my Markdown blog.
The methods I am finding here... : Markdown to create pages and table of contents?
....do not work for me because I am naming all of my headers # _</>_ The Setup because I am using CSS on to style the "", giving each header a nice colored Icon next to it. If I simply use ```# The Setup ```` it works great.
This causes issues whenever I try to use [The Setup](#The-Setup).
I tried a few things like [The Setup](#_</>_-The-Setup) and other things, but I can not get it to work.
If someone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has a better way of adding custom icons next to headers, I think that would be the better way to go about it.
As always, thanks in advance.
The general solution is to examine the rendered HTML output to see what the tool is converting the special characters to, in the HTML's element ID. Every tool could handle the conversion differently (it could convert special characters to -, _, or just remove special characters). Some examples:
<h1 id="_____the-setup">The Setup</h1>
<h1 id="-the-setup">The Setup</h1>
<h1 id="the-setup">The Setup</h1>
Once you have identified the exact id that the tool is using, then you use that value as the heading link in the markdown's table of contents. For example:
[The Setup](#_____the-setup)
Now, the tricky part is that not all Markdown tools will export the rendered HTML, including VS Code. The workaround for VS Code is:
Open the markdown preview mode (which renders to html internally).
Open the VS Code Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools).
Use DevTools to inspect the element (in this case, the heading element for "The Setup").
I see that VS Code named the id as the-setup, so in the markdown's table of contents, I write [The Setup](#the-setup). Now the table of content hyperlink works in VS Code. Caveat: it might not work in other Markdown tools if they render a different HTML element ID!
Another shortcut now available in VS Code (1.70 July 2022), is that markdown can autocomplete the header ID. So you just type #, and it will list the valid IDs:
How do I create a link to a part of long webpage on another website that I don't control?
I thought you could use a variant of the #partofpage at the end of my link. Any suggestions?
Just append a # followed by the ID of the <a> tag (or other HTML tag, like a <section>) that you're trying to get to. For example, if you are trying to link to the header in this HTML:
<p>This is some content.</p>
<h2><a id="target">Some Header</a></h2>
<p>This is some more content.</p>
You could use the link Link.
Create a "jump link" using the following format:
http://www.example.com/somepage#anchor
Where anchor is the id of the element you wish to link to on that page. Use browser development tools / view source to find the id of the element you wish to link to.
If the element doesn't have an id and you don't control that site then you can't do it.
That is only possible if that site has declared anchors in the page.
It is done by giving a tag a name or id attribute, so look for any of those close to where you want to link to.
And then the syntax would be
text
In case the target page is on the same domain (i.e. shares the same origin with your page) and you don't mind creation of new tabs (1), you can (ab)use some JavaScript:
see tenth paragraph on another page
Trivia:
var w = window.open('some URL of the same origin');
w.onload = function(){
// do whatever you want with `this.document`, like
this.document.querySelecotor('footer').scrollIntoView()
}
Working example of such 'exploit' you can try right now could be:
javascript:(function(url,sel,w,el){w=window.open(url);w.addEventListener('load',function(){w.setTimeout(function(){el=w.document.querySelector(sel);el.scrollIntoView();el.style.backgroundColor='red'},1000)})})('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45014240/link-to-a-specific-spot-on-a-page-i-cant-edit','footer')
If you enter this into location bar (mind that Chrome removes javascript: prefix when pasted from clipboard) or make it a href value of any link on this page (using Developer Tools) and click it, you will get another (duplicate) SO question page scrolled to the footer and footer painted red. (Delay added as a workaround for ajax-loaded content pushing footer down after load.)
Notes
Tested in current Chrome and Firefox, generally should work since it is based on defined standard behaviour.
Cannot be illustrated in interactive snippet here at SO, because they are isolated from the page origin-wise.

The upcoming Chrome "Scroll to text" feature is exactly what you are looking for....
https://github.com/bokand/ScrollToTextFragment
You basically add #targetText= at the end of the URL and the browser will scroll to the target text and highlight it after the page is loaded.
It is in the version of Chrome that is running on my desk, but currently it must be manually enabled. Presumably it will soon be enabled by default in the production Chrome builds and other browsers will follow, so OK to start adding to your links now and it will start working then.
Edit: It's been implemented in Chrome. See https://chromestatus.com/feature/4733392803332096
You can NOW...
As of Chrome release 81 (Feb 2020), there is a new feature called Text Fragments. It allows you to provide a link that opens at the precise text specified (with that text highlighted).
At the moment, it works in Edge, Chrome and Opera but not in Firefox, Safari or Brave. (See note 6 at bottom for more)
For security reasons, the feature requires links to be opened in a noopener context. Therefore, make sure to include rel="noopener" in your anchor markup or add noopener to your Window.open() list of window functionality features.
You create the link to your desired text by appending this string to the end of the URL:
/#:~:text=
and providing the percent-encoded search string thus:
/#:~:text=String%20to%20focus%20on
Here is a working example:
https://newz.icu/#:~:text=Google%20surveillance%20increases
Notes:
Test the above link in Chrome or Opera only
In the above example, note that the text string is in a div that is normally hidden on page load - so in this example it is being displayed despite what would normally happen. Useful.
Recent versions of Chrome also include a new option when you Right-Click on selected text: Copy link to highlight. This will auto-create the direct-to-text link for you (i.e. it automatically appends the /#:~:text= to the text you highlighted) and place it in the clipboard - just paste it where desired.
Suppose you want to highlight an entire block of text? The Text Fragments feature allows specifying a starting%20phrase and an ending%20phrase (separated by a comma), and it will highlight all text in between:

To do that you would need to find the same piece of code but relating to your target block. For example dv id="your-block-id" Anyways I was just reading over this thread and an idea came to my mind, if you are a Shopify user and want to do this it is pretty much the same thing as stated.

It's now possible to create an "anchor" link that goes to a specific part of any webpage in most browsers in a few different ways.
All of them will create a link with an #anchor at the end, where "anchor" is the thing that you want to navigate to. The browser will interpret the part of the URL after the # to scroll to a specific part of the page.
Here are 3 ways to create a url like this:
Using an existing anchor. Perhaps there will be one in the URL as you scroll down the page. If not, look around the page for a header that has a little link icon to the left of it and click it to update the browsers navigation url.
Using any html element's id property or the name or id on an ("anchor") element. The other answers explain this quite well. You will have to open the developer console and inspect the part of the page to find an id (and you may not find one). It's a little different on each browser, but here's how to inspect an element in Chrome.
Using a text snippet to highlight part of the page.
Basically, html tag can have id="abc" as shown below:
<div id="abc">test</div>
<p id="abc">test</p>
<span id="abc">test</span>
<a id="abc">test</a>
And, "<a>" tag can also have name="abc" as shown below:
<a name="abc">test</a>
Then, you can use the id and name values "abc" with "#" in urls as shown below to go to the specific part of a page:
https://www.example.com/#abc
https://www.example.com/index.html#abc
Then, you can put the urls above in "<a>" tag to create the links to id="abc" and name="abc" as shown below:
test
test
And, if you want to go to the specific part of the same page, you can only put the id and name values "abc" with "#" in "<a>" tag to create the links to id="abc" and name="abc" as shown below:
<!-- Go to the specific part of the same page -->
test
<div id="abc">test</div>
<!-- Go to the specific part of the same page -->
test
<a name="abc">test</a>
I use custom code snippet for Sublime Text like custom comments, function, reusable block code, CDN and more.. but I could not do that in WebStorm and PhpStorm IDE.
Here is my building block code snippet (comments) for Sublime Text:
/*============================

============================*/
and this code blocks for HTML5 comments
<!-----------------------

----------------------->
Moreover I'm new user for JetBrains software. Can I use custom code snippet above in JetBrains software ?
It's called Live Templates in JetBrains IDEs.
Available at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Live Templates.
You can use existing Live Templates as is, alter them to your needs or create your own.
Creating own is better be done in own group -- they will be stored in separate config file so easier to share, no possible conflicts with built-in ones (easier to update between versions etc.). It also makes perfect sense to use separate group per language -- the same abbreviation can be used for different languages/context but abbreviation within the same group must be unique.
BTW -- I'd say -- do not edit built-ins at all -- just disable specific built-in template and create your own version of it in separate group. This way you can always see what fix/change devs have made in new IDE version etc.
Full official tutorial/how-to is available here: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Live+Templates+%28Snippets%29+in+PhpStorm
You may also be interested in other articles:
https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Tutorials
in particular (since you have used Sublime in the past): https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+for+Users+of+Text+Editors
Finally I get a tips ! PhpStorm allows you to create your own live templates (code snippets) to optimise your workflows.
Open the settings dialog and head into Editor | Live Templates, you can see the available live templates grouped by language. To add a new template click the + (plus) button and select Live Template. Specify the abbreviation (the short bit of text you type that will be expanded to the full code snippet) and a description.
Then provide the full code snippet in the Template text field. You can include variables in the template in the format $<variable name>$, which will allow you to provide values when the template is expanded. PhpStorm recognises $END$ as a special variable indicating the final position of the cursor after the template has been expanded and values have been provided for all variables.
Next click the Define warning text to specify which language the template is for and optionally the context it is available in.
Now the template is ready to be used. Open a file and type the abbreviation that was specified earlier, then hit Tab to expand the template. The cursor will be positioned on the first variable, provide a value then hit Tab to keep moving through all available variables. The final position of the cursor will be the location of the $END$ variable.

I write an application and inside of HTML code I have custom tags (of course these tags are parsed on server side and end user gets them as valid HTML code). Example of custom tag usage:
<html>
<body>
...
<Gallery type="grid" title="My Gallery" />
...
</body>
</html>
1.) How can I have eclipse recognize my custom tags inside of HTML code and add syntax highlighting to them?
2.) How can I add auto-suggestions to my custom tags? For example if I type "<Gallery " press "Ctrl+Space" - in the list of available attributes it shows me "type" and "title" and if I type "<Gallery type=" press "Ctrl+Space" I would see list of available values only for tag "Gallery" and its attribute "type".
Thanks in advance!
Not really what you want, but maybe it helps you:
You can try the Aptana Plug-in for Eclipse. It allows to write your own regular expression for HTML validation, so a custom tag would be ignored by the validator.
E.g.:
.gallery.
Eclipse allows you to add simple auto-suggestions via Templates. On
Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo) + PHP Dev Tools (PDT) 3.0.0: Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Templates
Sadly, there is no easy way: you have to roll your own parser for this, and then add both your extra elements and the base grammar (HTML) to it.
If you have your parser, you could use it to do syntax highlighting (strictly speaking, for that simple lexing is enough); and a good parser can support content assist (auto-suggestions in your terminology).
Caveats:
Creating a parser for HTML is not an easy task. Maybe by aiming at a more often used subset is feasible.
If a parser exists, the editor parts are still hard to get well.
Some help on the other hand: you could use some text editor generators to ease your work:
Eclipse IMP http://www.eclipse.org/imp/ can in theory handle any type of parser, but currently it is most optimized for LPG. The documentation is scarce, but the developers are helpful in the forums.
Xtext http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/ got quite a hype for creating text editors for DSLs. The generated editors are quite nice out of the box, but is not the best solution for large files. Has a really helpful developer community.
EMFText http://www.emftext.org/index.php/EMFText is a lesser known entity - I don't know it in details, but I guess, it is similar to Xtext.
I know its been a long time since this Q was asked,
but I hope this might help others like myself that reach this in search of a solution.
So, When using Eclipse (Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) - and possibly earlier - I did not check).
Go to Window - Prefrences
Then in the dialog that opens go to Web - HTML Files - Editor - Validation.
On the right side:
under Ignore specified element names in validation and enter the list of custom elements you use. (e.g. Gallery,tab,tabset,my-element-directives-*)
you might also like to go under Ignore specified attribute names in validation do the same for your custom attributes.(e.g. ng-*,my-attr-directives-*)
Two things to note:
After letting eclipse do a full validation you must also close the file and reopen it to have the warnings removed from the source code.
Using this method would ignore those attributes under any element. I don't think there is a simple way to tell it to ignore some-attribute only if its a child of some-element.
I find templates are an ok alternative but let's see if we can encourage a more robust solution; please take a moment and vote for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422584
You need to add a new HTML template.To add a new template, complete the following steps:
1) From the Window menu, select Preferences.
2) In the Preferences page, select Web and XML > HTML Files > HTML Templates.
3) Click New.
4) Enter the new template name and a brief description of the template.
5) Using the Context drop-down list, specify the context in which the template is available.
6) In the Pattern field, enter the appropriate tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be inserted by content assist.
7) If you want to insert a variable, click the Variable button and select the variable to be inserted. For example, the word_selection variable indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, and the cursor variable determines where the cursor will be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.
8) Click OK to save the new template.
You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the same Preferences page.
