And I have the same.

[mosleimgai]

step instalation is: before install this plugin, install emmet firstly. it's maybe can solve the problem. and the snippet is not require < again.

The way the problem can be minimized is shown in one of the closed issues.

Below the answer from @JasonMortonNZ :

Hey guys, I've been stumped by the issue for a long time. There's a setting in Sublime called auto_complete_triggers and by default it's set to "auto_complete_triggers": [ {"selector": "text.html", "characters": "<"} ]. I believe this is the root cause of the '<' remaining.

Unfortunately I can't find much (any) info in the Sublime docs in order to work out if there's a potential fix for this, but as a solution I updated the setting to this:

"auto_complete_triggers": [{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "<"},{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "bs3"}]

Hope that helps guys. Bootstrap 4 snippets is under way an will be released soon :)

Same problem for me. The proposition from raedlime is not convenient for me, as it makes the usual completion with <h3 for exemple bieng inactive

Real problem :(

[cerealBoxx]

The solution doesn't work for me. I tried both reinstalling and changing the user preferences as suggested but I still have the issue. Is there another solution?

[ArunHub]

For me its working fine...

[lsvt-olivier]

Same issue here and outlined solution doesn't work for me either.

I'll add more info, only happens in linux, working as intended in osx and windows.

[swirly]

No. It also happens for me on osX.

SOLVED: DOCUMENTATION ERROR!

Just started using this plugin, had the same issue and found the fix.

Docs incorrectly state "start typing '<bs3' " instead of just "bs3".

DONT use the "<" tag when typing, just start typing with "bs...". After confirmation (i.e when u hit ENTER or TAB key depending on ur editor), there should be no extra leading "<" character.

Problem is "" in code snippets do not include leading "<" but starts from "bs...". So e.g if u type "<bs3-col" the plugin will decode only "bs3-col" leaving the "<" character behind.

[dave-ok]

Let me/others know if this worked for you

[Pablocgdev]

Now it is working as intended, thanks.

[tsamridh86]

This only works inside the tags, it does not work when it's outside.
The method you describe is completely ineffective in HTML syntax

[dave-ok]

I use this in pure HTML and it works fine. Are u sure u have set ur preferences in sublime text to include: "auto_complete_triggers": [{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "bs3"}]. Ensure that u dont have any of ur autocomplete triggers set to capture <bs3 then u shd hav no problems

[dave-ok]

Just tried it in CSS and js still good

[tsamridh86]

tell me how to check it, i am unable to find that in the sublime text menu, thanks

[dave-ok]

Sorry for the late reply.

Goto Preferences->Settings-user and after the last entry place a comma and add like so:

"auto_complete_triggers":
    [
        {
            "characters": "bs",
            "selector": "text.html"
        }
    ]

Save your changes and restart sublime text. Hope this helps

[tsamridh86]

Yes, it works, thank you, please include this in the installation documentation also.

[dave-ok]

You're welcome will try

[nir-jas]

Just Go to Preferences-->Settings-User and Add following line into the settings file.
"auto_complete_triggers": [ {"selector": "text.html", "characters": "bs"} ]

[Pablocgdev]

By setting correctly the filetype this is not needed, I can confirm in OSX, Linux and Windows.
