How do I get the Tab key to do what I expect

Dev Ed has a number of courses on YouTube. I have been viewing on named HTML and CSS Tutorial.

I have Visual Studio Code installed and added the packages suggested in the Tutorial. I get to the point where the <!DOCTYPE html> tag has been created and on a new line the tag <html> has been typed. This automatically completes the end tag, hence <html></html>. If I am understanding this correctly, Ed then says hit the Tab key but it just produces spacing as you would normally expect with a Tab. My expectation is that it formats the code as follows:

<html>

</html>

This does not happen.

According to VSCode release notes, such a feature has been removed from the IntelliSense and replaced with </.

In order to autocomplete your tags you can do either of these:

  1. Use ctrl + space to select from provided items in the suggestion list.

  2. Use third party plugins like this.

Save your file as .html or if already have done that, click on the text between CRLF and smiley face and select HTML
