Emmet Output Preferences
The Output Preferences dialog is used to control how the expanded (output) code behaves
when expanding abbreviations and snippets. There are 6 different dialogs to control output and,
while they all have identical options, they control different output types: CSS, HAML, HTML,
XML, XSL and the "Default" one controlling the rest of the types.
These options are equivalent to Emmet's syntaxProfiles.json feature.
Emmet Snippets Preferences
Emmet Snippet are similar to abbreviations in that they are expanded when the Tab key is
pressed, but they are just blocks of plain text. Anything in a snippet will be outputted “as is”,
without any transformation.
