Emmet (previously known as Zen Coding) is a web-developer’s toolkit that can greatly improve your HTML & CSS workflow:

Basically, most text editors out there allow you to store and re-use commonly used code chunks, called “snippets”. While snippets are a good way to boost your productivity, all implementations have common pitfalls: you have to define the snippet first and you can’t extend them in runtime.

基本上当下大多数文本编辑器可以重用常用的代码块，称为“代码片断”（ snippets ）。代码片断是提高生产效率的好办法，不过所有的实现都有共同的缺陷：要先定义代码片断并且不能实时展开。

Emmet takes the snippets idea to a whole new level: you can type CSS-like expressions that can be dynamically parsed, and produce output depending on what you type in the abbreviation. Emmet is developed and optimised for web-developers whose workflow depends on HTML/XML and CSS, but can be used with programming languages too.

Emmet 将代码片断的思想提升到全新的高度：书写类似于 CSS 的表达式，然后实时解析展开。Emmet 是为了HTML/XML 与 CSS 而开发，也最适合用于它们，不过也能与编程语言一块使用。
