I have seen in videos, that people get html template by typing "html:5" or something like that (btw, they're not using notepad++). Is this possible in notepad++? Thanks.
A little late, but what you're looking for is called Zen Coding.
The Zen Coding project hosted on Google has a plugin for NotePad++ that should do exactly what you need.
For example, entering something like:
html>head+body>div#content>ul.nav>li*5
Followed by Ctrl + E, expands into:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<ul class="nav">
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Install and use the Notepad++ Snippets plugin.
If you don't have admin access or behind a firewall, there is a Macro hack. If your template is a bit short, then you can use the built-in MACRO and manually key in the template text (a one-time operation per template). You can then "Save Current Recorded Macro" and replay it for every new file that you create. Emmet works only for html, but this technique works for any kind of text(as long as you can manually key-in the text)
Note: You cannot copy-paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V) text while recording as it will copy-paste current clipboard's contents which is undesirable!
For those who like step-by-step instructions:
Now it's called Emmet plugin in Notepad++
Just type html:5 and press control + alt + enter and you will get the following markup:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
