I have used Zen Coding with other editors and am a big fan. This implementation does the minimum of Zen Coding and only for HTML. This is by far the most limited implementation I've used.

pros : does do basic expansion

Cons: No CSS support,no HTML5 input support, generates unquoted attributes, wrap function doesn't appear to work, generation is limited to zen basics.

for div.class$*4

this: <div class= class1 ></div><div class= class1 ></div><div class= class1 ></div><div class= class1 ></div>

other(Notepad++):<div class="class1"></div><div class="class2"></div><div class="class3"></div><div class="class4"></div>

The Notepad++ rendering being what was desired.

In comparison to the core Zen Coding package this version is just too immature to be of much use to me. Easier to do with an editor with a much richer Zen Coding feature set and copy into VS.

I am really excited that this plugin exists in visual studio. I started using this in notepad ++ and thought I should search if this exists in visual studio. Extremely happy. Productivity is soaring. :)

Thanks!

Excellent plugin, this is gonna save me a lot of time. I salute you!

Great extension. Very nice to have this in Visual Studio. I give it 4.5 stars.

I would only suggest that when you expand the html, that it maintain the indentation. Right now when you expand the new code is placed at the far left side of the page. At the moment I do a ctrl-k,ctrl-d to format all the code to put it in the flow quickly, so not a big issue. Just wanted to bring it up.

Thanks again for this.

would've been a nice tool.. but
1. doesn't wrap id in qoutes instead blank spaces <div id= someid >
2. ignores outside element indenting

could be something with my vs.net 2010 ultimate config?.. (win 7 x64)

Sometimes a bug makes the quotes not appear.. All you need to do is go into Tools - Options - ZenCoding, and click OK (you can also change the quotestyle here). That should work for no.1.

Works really good. Would be nice to have the CSS Zen as well, but that's about it.

I've got CSS Zen planned for > v2.0 :)

I rate somewhere between 2-3 stars.
1. No KB binding? Do I really have to do this myself? Lame.
2. Doesn't seem to support [attrib=value]. Lame.

I didn't include KB binding since Visual Studio is so heavily customizable when it comes to this. Automatic KB binding would've made a mess for many users, plus you can choose yourself how you'd like to work with it.

Unfortunately there is currently a bug that forces you to use quotes around the attribute value, like so: [attrib='value']

Sorry you didn't like it.

Best Zen Coding extension I have ever used!
Keep up the good work m8!

Awesome plugin. Cant work without it

This has been added to my list of must-have extensions. Please add the ability to edit shortcuts.

Thanks for your contribution!

by Shion_ | November 24 2011

Great extension.

Works like a charm.

Solely one problem exists at the moment: You can't edit shortcuts.
You can delete it and add a new one, but this is a small problem if you have, like me, a shortcut that consists of really big structures. (Copy&Paste isn't working neither :()

Anyway: Keep up the good work! :)

    Removal of unmatched tags

      It would be nice if tag removal would only remove the current tag if it is flagged as being unmatched.
