About Zencoding

Description here and here.

I’ll quote the blog:

zen-coding includes an entirely new angle to writing markup, and it facilitates the feature by letting you write HTML based on CSS selectors. It’s so simple it’s confusing at first. I think it’s best explained by doing a quick before and after. If you were to type:

div#name.one.two

and follow that with the zen-coding plugin keystroke (CMD+E in TextMate), the plugin will reformat the line as:

<div id="name" class="one two"></div>

See the EmacsWiki for more background on this mode.

Screenshots and videos

Installation

Just make sure zencoding-mode.el is in your load-path, if you extracted zencoding-mode to a directory:

(add-to-list "~/emacs.d/zencoding-mode")

And then just require as normal:

(require 'zencoding-mode)

Usage

Enable it by running M-x zencoding-mode. You probably want to add it to auto-load on your sgml modes:

(add-hook 'sgml-mode-hook 'zencoding-mode) ;; Auto-start on any markup modes

Good to go: place point in a zencoding snippet and press C-j to expand it (or alternatively, alias your preferred keystroke to M-x zencoding-expand-line) and you'll transform your snippet into the appropriate tag structure.

Examples

Basic tags

a                        <a></a>
a.x                      <a class="x"></a>
a#q.x                    <a id="q" class="x"></a>
a#q.x.y.z                <a id="q" class="x y z"></a>
#q                       <div id="q">
                         </div>
.x                       <div class="x">
                         </div>
#q.x                     <div id="q" class="x">
                         </div>
#q.x.y.z                 <div id="q" class="x y z">
                         </div>

Empty tags

a/                       <a/>
a/.x                     <a class="x"/>
a/#q.x                   <a id="q" class="x"/>
a/#q.x.y.z               <a id="q" class="x y z"/>

Self-closing tags

input type=text          <input type="text"/>
img                      <img/>
img>metadata/*2          <img>
                             <metadata/>
                             <metadata/>
