Parsing Abbreviations

This feature allows you to parse Emmet abbreviations into a structured tree format. In this example, the abbreviation 'ul>li*3' is parsed into a tree structure representing an unordered list with three list items.

const parse = require('@emmetio/abbreviation');
const tree = parse('ul>li*3');
console.log(tree);

Transforming Abbreviations

This feature allows you to transform the parsed abbreviation tree. In this example, the tree is transformed to include placeholders for fields, which can be useful for creating templates.

const parse = require('@emmetio/abbreviation');
const transform = require('@emmetio/abbreviation/lib/transform');
const tree = parse('ul>li*3');
const transformedTree = transform(tree, { field: (index, placeholder) => `
	${placeholder}` });
console.log(transformedTree);

Stringify Abbreviations

This feature allows you to convert the parsed abbreviation tree back into a string format, such as HTML. In this example, the tree is converted into an HTML string representing an unordered list with three list items.

const parse = require('@emmetio/abbreviation');
const stringify = require('@emmetio/abbreviation/lib/stringify');
const tree = parse('ul>li*3');
const html = stringify(tree);
