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.
l
Tag Case: Defines whether tags in the expanded code will be in lowercase, uppercase,
or keep whichever case was used when typing in the abbreviation. For example, the keep
option means typing P>a expands to <P><a href=""></a></P>.
