Emmet as a Template (aka zen-coding)

This is not the most useful thing in the world - was just an idea I had awhile back… First off, I love Emmet (formerly zen-coding) created by Sergey Chikuyonok. I especially like it for quickly writing html or jsx.

While I don’t use them that often, I really enjoy Jade and Pug. Anyway, I realized you could do similar things with Emmet with just a few little tweaks… So created this codepen:

As you can see - with a few regular expressions you can use Emmet _sort of_ like Jade. Definitely just an experiment, but interesting nevertheless.
