Alexander,
you need to press tab for it to work, much like the way snippets work in the rest of VS.

Thanks for the plugin. I have found few problems:

1- html>body>table>tr*8>td*3>lorem9 will create table with 8 rows and three columns each with Lorem text.

2- html>body>table>tr*8>td*3>lorem30 will create the same table by this time the last column of each row is empty.

3- html>body>table>tr*8>td*3>lorem90 this time only first column has text!!

4- html>body>table>tr*8>td*3>lorem900 now the text is back in all three rows.

Please fix the inconsistency issues.

Please, help me start unsing Zen Coding in Visual Studio. I installed the Web Essentials plug-in, but how do I start using Zen Coding. I mean, when I write, for example, div nothing happens. What other settings do I need to do? I am using VS 2012. Thanks for the help.

Very impressive

There seems to be an issue with lists containing sibling elements. e.g. div>ul>li*5>span+div only adds the nested div to the first li, and not the other 4. Nesting the sibling elements in a container div doesn’t work either (div>ul>li*5>div>span+div).

One thing that seems to be missing compared to plugins I’ve used with NP++ and VS2010 is the ability to surround selected existing markup with the output of an expression. Does this functionality exist? If not, it would be a nice addition. Thanks! (I also love the simplicity of expanding with a simple and familiar Tab press)
