All:
I am pretty new to sublime( I am using ST2), I wonder if there is a plugin or shortcut that allow me to select text and add a formatted block comment like:
/**
* This is the comment.
*
*/
I only know add multiLine comment with CTRL+/, but for above, I really have no idea, any help?
Thanks
It sounds like you are looking for the package DocBlockr.
Once you install this on Sublime, simply type /** above the method and the entire comment stub will be generated for you, including parameters and return type! See example below.
You can find instructions on how to install DocBlockr in the Github README linked above.
for normal block comments the answer is here
Shortcut to comment out a block of code with sublime text
Windows: Ctrl+Shift+/
Mac: Command ⌘+Option/Alt+/

I am trying Visual Studio Code lately and i've noticed that when i try to add a line comment in an HTML file (using Ctrl+/ or Ctrl+K Ctrl+C) instead of this: <!-- -->, i get this {# #}.
In JS or CSS files the key bindings work just fine and produce the expected result.
So how can i get the proper type of comments in HTML files?
Finally i found what the problem was. I had installed the twig plugin (for the Twig php template engine) and that was causing the comments issue.
I've just installing VSCode 1.1.1 and try to put a comment in an new html file
To do so, your new file must be,first, save in .html format and after that, you can use CTRL-K CTRL-C to put a comment and it works.
Hope that help you
If you don't want to disable/uninstall any plugin, you can create a snippet to put a comment. For example, I create a snippet that add HTML comments in a PHP file:
"comment HTML": {
"prefix": "chtml",
"body": ["<!-- $1 -->"],
"description": "Comment HTML line"
}
You can insert that right after the comment in File > Preferences > User Snippets > {YourExtension}
Then, when you start typing 'chtml' in that kind of files, IntelliSense will prompt that snippet.
Maybe this is a workarround, but it works excellent for me. Hope it helps!

For me, it was the (Djaneiro) extension, it made the html files default to django template, so it caused the comments to be wrong in HTML (when pressing ctrl + / )
(commenting them with {% comment %})
List of extensions known to cause this unwanted behavior (Based on my own experience and other answers):
Hugo Language and Syntax Support
Djaneiro
Nunjucks
Tornado
Sublime Babel
Babel
Twig
Django by Baptiste Darthenay (v1.0.0)
(Feel free to edit this answer and add yours)
You may need to restart code after disabling your extension (I did).
In your Visual Studio Code windows, go to File->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcut
This will open two files beside each other like in the screenshot below:
here you can change or create your own shortcuts.
Like I just replaced Ctrl+KU to Ctrl+/
Hope this will work for you !!
For me, the offending extension was Nunjucks (the templating language plugin assumes every .html file is a nunjucks html template)
For others having the problem, the Tornado extension is also a culprit. I had to "disable (workspace)" one by one to find it.
Try uninstalling any python extension packs you may have installed! You can then reinstall the python extension you need individually.
Chances are one of the extensions in the bundle of that extension pack is causing the issue
Click (Ctrl + K C) to comment the html.
Click (Ctrl + K U) to uncomment html.
For me, this was caused by the Sublime Babel extension. Disabling it and restarting VS Code fixed the issue: Cmd+K, Cmd+C works again, as does Cmd+/ for toggling. Also, HTML comment blocks are now correctly styled again.
You can configure the file type at the bottom right corner. you probably are on Django HTML. you can set it to HTML.
I just started to use the trial of Sublime text 2 and was wondering if there is any function or plugin for me to convert block of HTML to javascript string ?
I have try to search but couldn't find anything. Thanks!
Sublime text doesn't perform any parsing/converting functions, it's just a very pretty and useful text editor with various syntax highlighting, and as far as I'm aware most plugins for it are either for visual styles/highlighting or version control, not converting from one thing to another.
Saying that, if you want to convert HTML to a Javascript style string try this: http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/html-javascript-convertor/
K. L., I am also reading this book and I gone through the same situation. I am using Notepad++ and could not find a way of doing this conversion directly from the editor. Then, I decided to download and install the vim editor (http://www.vim.org/download.php) and I made the configuration suggested by the authors on pages 73-74. It worked fine. Maybe I will try to make it work on Notepad++ in the future, but, for now, I can continue my reading. Hope this helps.
I've been doing a lot of work with Knockout templates lately, and I've been using Sublime to do it. one thing that I've noticed though is that when using a template, which needs to be defined in a block like this:
<script type="text/html"></script>
it treats the contents as Javascript, which means I'm missing out on a lot of HTML tools which I have installed. I'd like to make it treat that content as HTML instead of Javascript; is there any setting which I could use to do this?
I managed to find the answer thanks to iamntz here; the trick is simple. For Sublime Text 3:
Open up Packages within your install directory, then find HTML.sublime-package and open it in 7zip (or your favorite archive tool)
Find HTML.tmLanguage and open it for editing
Find this line:
<string>(?:^\s+)?(<)((?i:script))\b(?![^>]*/>)</string>
and replace it with this one:
<string>(?:^\s+)?(<)((?i:script))\b(?!([^>]*text/html[^>]*|[^>]*/>))</string>
Nice and easy; the text/html in that second snippet can be replaced with any template type, and it will now be read as HTML by Sublime. This fix will also work with any HTML packages you have installed.
This doesn't appear to be necessary any longer for Sublime Text 3 build 3103. Just make sure your script tag's type attribute begins with "text/" and doesn't end in "javascript" and it should handle HTML correctly now.
EDIT:
This has become a problem again with Sublime Text 3 build 3176. The fix is to modify the HTML package again but with this change in HTML.sublime-syntax:
- script-javascript
- tag-generic-attribute-meta
- tag-generic-attribute-value
- - match: (?i)(?=text/html(?!{{unquoted_attribute_value}})|'text/html'|"text/html")
+ - match: (?i)(?=text/html(?!{{unquoted_attribute_value}})|'text/html'|"text/html"|"text/x-template")
set:
- script-html
- tag-generic-attribute-meta
Replace "x-template" with whatever type you are using for your script tag templates.
I've got some poorly-formatted HTML code that I'd like to reformat. Is there a command that will automatically reformat HTML code in Sublime Text 2 so it looks better and is easier to read?
You don't need any plugins to do this.
Just select all lines (CTRL+A) and then from the menu select Edit → Line → Reindent.
This will work if your file is saved with an extension that contains HTML like .html or .php.
If you do this often, you may find this key mapping useful:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+r"], "command": "reindent" , "args": { "single_line": false } }
If your file is not saved (e.g. you just pasted in a snippet to a new window), you can manually set the language for indentation by selecting the menu View → Syntax → language of choice before selecting the reindent option.
There are half a dozen or so ways to format HTML in Sublime. I've tested each of the most popular plugins (see the writeup I did on my blog for full details), but here's a quick overview of some of the most popular options:
Reindent command
Pros:
Ships with Sublime, so no plugin install needed
Cons:
Doesn't delete extra blank lines
Can't handle minified HTML, lines with multiple open tags
Doesn't properly format <script> blocks
Tag
Pros:
Supports ST2/ST3
Removes extra blank lines
No binary dependencies
Cons:
Chokes on PHP tags
Doesn't handle <script> blocks correctly
HTMLTidy
Pros:
Handles PHP tags
Some settings to tweak formatting
Cons:
Requires PHP (falls back to web service)
ST2 only
Abandoned?
HTMLBeautify
Pros:
Supports ST2/ST3
Simple and no binaray dependencies
Support for OS X, Win and Linux
Cons:
Chokes a bit with inline comments
Does not expand minimized or compressed code
HTML-CSS-JS Prettify
Pros:
Supports ST2/ST3
Handles HTML, CSS, JS
Great integration with Sublime's menus
Highly customizable
Per-project settings
Format on save option
Cons:
Requires Node.js
Not great for embedded PHP
Which is best?
HTML-CSS-JS Prettify is the winner in my book. Lots of great features, not much to complain about.
The only package I've been able to find is Tag.
You can install it using the package control. https://sublime.wbond.net
After installing package control. Go to package control (Preferences -> Package Control) then type install, hit enter. Then type tag and hit enter.
After installing Tag, highlight the text and press the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F.
I recommend this plugin: HTML/CSS/JS Prettify, It really works.
After the installation, just select the code and press CTRL+SHIFT+H.
Done!
Just a general tip. What I did to auto-tidy up my HTML, was install the package HTML_Tidy, and then add the following keybinding to the default settings (which I use):
{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "html_tidy" },
this runs HTML Tidy with every enter. There may be drawbacks to this, I'm quite new to Sublime myself, but it seems to do what I want :)
Altough the question is for HTML, I would also additionally like to give info about how to auto-format your Javascript code for Sublime Text 2;
You can select all your code(CTRL+A) and use the in-app functionality, reindent(Edit -> Line -> Reindent) or you can use JsFormat formatting plugin for Sublime Text 2 if you would like to have more customizable settings on how to format your code to addition to the Sublime Text's default tab/indent settings.
https://github.com/jdc0589/JsFormat
You can easily install JsFormat with using Package Control (Preferences -> Package Control) Open package control then type install, hit ENTER. Then type js format and hit ENTER, you're done.
(The package controller will show the status of the installation with success and errors on the bottom left bar of Sublime)
Add the following line to your key bindings (Preferences -> Key Bindings User)
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+2"], "command": "js_format"}
I'm using CTRL+ALT+2, you can change this shortcut key whatever you want to. So far, JsFormat is a good plugin, worth to try it!
Hope this will help someone.
For me, the HTML Prettify solution was extremely simple. I went to the HTML Prettify page.
Needed the Sublime Package Manager
Followed the Instructions for installing the package manager here
typed CMD+SHIFT+P to bring up the menu
Typed prettify
Chose the HTML prettify selection in the menu
Boom. Done. Looks great
There's a plugin called SublimeHtmlTidy which works pretty well
https://github.com/welovewordpress/SublimeHtmlTidy
Simply go to
Edit -> Tag -> Auto-format tags on document
I created a Package called HTMLBeautify that does a decent job of reformatting HTML. I based it off of a Perl script I found back in 1997—I updated it to work with all the new fangled modern tags. :)
Check it out and let me know what you think!

I think this is what you're looking for:

I am yet to have the privilege to comment so this is simply additional information related to #peter's answer above answer.
I found HTML did not align as expected if IE conditional comments in the header were not completely in-line e.g. flush to the left:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p class='chromeframe'>Your browser is <em>unsupported</em>. Upgrade to a different browser or install Google Chrome Frame to experience this site.</p>
<![endif]-->
<!-- Le HTML5 shim, for IE6-8 support of HTML elements -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
There is a nice open source CodeFormatter plugin, which(along reindenting) can beautify dirty code even all of it is in single line.
I'm using tidy together with custom build system to prettify HTML.
I have HTMLTidy.sublime-build in my Packages/User/ directory:
{
"cmd": ["tidy", "-config", "$packages/User/tidy_config.cfg", "$file"]
}
and tidy_config.cfg file in the same directory:
indent: auto
tab-size: 4
show-warnings: no
write-back: yes
quiet: yes
indent-cdata: yes
tidy-mark: no
wrap: 0
And just select build system and press CTRL+B or CMD+B to reformat file content. One minor issue with that is that ST2 does not automatically reload the file so to see the results you have to switch to some other file and back (or to other application and back).
On Mac I've used macports to install tidy, on Windows you'd have to download it yourself and specify working directory in the build system, where tidy is located:
"working_dir": "c:\\HTMLTidy\\"
or add it to the PATH.
you can set shortcut key F12 easy!!!
{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent" , "args": { "single_line": false } }
see detail here.
HTML-CSS-JS Prettify - Hands down the best.
Install Package Control
⌘ + left shift + p (or ctrl + alt + left shift + p) -> Package Control: Install Package
Enter HTML-CSS-JS Prettify
Install node
Restart Sublime Text
Enjoy.
How to use hotkey in notepad++ webedit plugin?
what are the keyboard shortcuts to press to insert html tags??
Install the "webedit" plugin. Which will allow you to add custom shortcuts.
(Plugins > plugin manager).
After the program restarts, go to plugins > webedit > edit config. And either change an existing one or add a new one, (example &A= | ). You can remove the shortcut icons if they annoy you.
Then you go to, settings, shortcut mapper. Right now, ctl+enter is set to word completion I believe. Change that to something else (on main menu). Then go to the plugin commands tab and find your command and set it to ctl+enter. Then restart, and it should work.
http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52719
All keyboard shortcuts can be assigned/modified using the standard Shortcut Mapper. For more information see the WebEdit.txt help file.
That's what it says in the plugin description, at least.
Setting>Keyboard Shorcut>Plugins commands
then go to
- WebEdit - A
- WebEdit - Div Class
- WebEdit [...]
and select shortcut
I see that someone sort of answered it but I have a few things to add.
When you install WebEdit, go to the config as stated.
Go down to the [Tags] section.
Underneath all the comments, add the shortcut you want.
Here is the syntax:
<Tag>=<Replacement>
For tag, put what you want to replace. For example 'h1' (dont use the carrots).
put the = sign.
Then for replacement, put what you want "h1" to be replaced with.
Here is an example of my h1 hotkey:
h1=<h1>|</h1>
What the pipe character does is tell npp where to put your cursor after the replacement.
So this is how you use it now:
type h1, then press 'Alt+Enter'(by default, you can change this too), then BAM, your 'h1' will be replaced with:
<h1></h1> and your cursor will be sitting between the tags.
You could also do h1=<h1>|\n</h1> which would print the same thing but with a line break.
You can do some pretty awesome stuff with it. Saved me SO much time once I got used to it. I never type without it anymore lol.
Here is what my personal setup looks like under the [Tags] section (and I commented everything below starting with the m=module because it was messing with my 'p' tag and I didn't care anyways.
begin=<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n</head>\n<body>\n\n|</body>\n</html>
h1=<h1>|</h1>
h2=<h2>|</h2>
h3=<h3>|</h3>
h4=<h4>|</h4>
h5=<h5>|</h5>
h6=<h6>|</h6>
html=<html>\n|\n</html>
script=<script type="text/javascript">\n\t\n</script>
link=<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="|">
a=
div=<div>
divclass=<div class="|">
divid=<div id="|">
divend=</div>
p=<p>|</p>
ul=<ul>\n\t|\n</ul>
li=<li>|</li>
header=<header>\n\t|\n</header>
nav=<nav>\n\t|\n</nav>
section=<section>\n\t|\n</section>
article=<article>\n\t|\n</article>
aside=<aside>\n\t|\n</aside>
footer=<footer>\n\t|\n</footer>
Remember one thing; after you edit the WebEdit, you have to restart NPP before the new tag will work.
I know this is a bit old, but you can use the Emmet plugin to speedup your HTML and CSS typing. you can customize your snippets to make any text.
It cames whith dozens of snippets already, you just have to type it and then hit Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
You can find the file to edit in this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\EmmetNPP\emmet\snippets.json
It's easy to spot what you have to do.
On the plug-ins menu you will find all options that this plugin offers.
Experiment it like typing html:5 and then hit Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
Or even this ul>li*4>a[href=page.php?id=$]{page $}.
You will be amezed.
