HTML ZenCoding

ZenCoding is a quick way to generate HTML markup by using a CSS based syntax.

To invoke ZenCoding, write the syntax and hit the TAB key to generate the markup.

Examples:

Syntax ul>li*3 generates:

Syntax #foo>span generates:

Syntax ul>li*4>a{test $} generates:

Lorem Ipsum generator

As part of ZenCoding, you can now generate Lorem Ipsum code directly in the HTML editor. Simply type lorem and hit TAB and a 30 word Lorem Ipsum text is inserted.

Type lorem10 and a 10 word Lorem Ipsum text is inserted. This can be used in conjuction with ZenCoding like so: ul>li*5>lorem3

Lorem Pixel generator

As part of ZenCoding, you can also generate Lorem Pixel code directly in the HTML editor. Simply type pix-200x200-animals and hit TAB and a img tag with a 200x200 image of an animal is inserted:

PlaceHold.it generator

ZenCoding also support PlaceHold.it if you prefer blank images. Type place-50 and hit TAB to have a 50 pixels square image. Use place-200x100 to insert a rectangular image:

You can choose the background color by adding the hexadecimal value after the size like this place-150x240-EEEDDD. You can even add text to the image by using place-150x240-EEE-t=This%20is%20some%20text.
