Sublime Text 3 - Emmet shortcut for HTML 5 not working.

Question

I have recently downloaded sublime text 3 and installed emmet. The issue that I am having is that when I write the short code for HTML 5 and press tab, it doesn't work. This method was used in sublime text 2 and it worked. Does anyone have any solutions to this issue?

Answer 1

type ! and then press Tab. found the answer on cheatsheet

Answer 2

Text editor doesn't know what shortcut to expand until you save new file as *.html or change the syntax (bottom/right), because new document starts in plain text.
