VS Code not recognizing HTML?

Let’s fix that.

The Problem:

The HTML file was not being recognized as HTML. It was reading as a .txt file and emmet autocomplete would not work.

The solution:

• Go to File, Preferences, Settings

• Type “files.associations” into the search bar, and then click “Edit in settings.json”

• Last thing. Add the following line to your settings.json file.

And that should do it. VSCode will now recognize your file as HTML and the Emmet autocomplete will now work!
