Zen Coding



Hey do you know about Zen coding?? It is a shorthand wy of writing HTML. Now this is a boon for developers as they have to spend relatively spend less time spending on coding For example if you were to write 68 <li> tags , you would just go crazy. Or there is another way ? Yes, if you have any plugin for your favorite editor , and the specific hotkey, then you can do it in a matter of seconds. For example , go to http://zen-coding.ru/codemirror/ and type as in the image 

li*68






Next, select the whole thing and press "Tab" . Voila. You have just got 68 <li> tags one by one. 

You can also develop using many other develop kits. We have downloaded it from here. For the plugin , download it from Google Zen coding page. Next, install Notepad++ in the default folder C:\ (it is recommended). Then , extract the files to the pathway
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins
But this may depend on your pathway. Just remember to extract in the plugins folder. Now, lets get started.
First , try writing html:xs  in the first line.
Then , anywhere between the writing press Ctrl+E. Voila !! You have just wrote a complete html skeleton. Now try li*54 (anything u wish) and press Ctrl+E. And it changes to standard HTML.

This process will save a lot of your time if you are a developer and are busy writing websites.Or else, just have a try.
