Emmet Variables Preferences

Variables are placeholders used in Emmet snippets to output predefined data. For example, the

html:5 snippet of HTML syntax has the following definition:

<!doctype html>\n<html lang="${lang}">...</body>\n</html>

In the example above, ${lang} is used to refer lang variable defined in variables below. If your

primary language is, for example, Russian, you can simply override lang variable with ru value

and keep the original snippets. Also, you can override variable values with inline abbreviation

attributes: html:5[lang=ru].

spaces or special characters. For example, the myVar name is referred to as ${myVar}.

Value: The value of the variable when the snippet is expanded.
