<h1>This is so awesome 1</h1>
<h2>This is so awesome 2</h2>
<h3>This is so awesome 3</h3>
<h4>This is so awesome 4</h4>

Use @- to reverse the Numbering

img[src=image$$@-.jpg]*5

<img src="image05.jpg" alt="">

img[src=emmet$@100.jpg]*5

<img src="emmet100.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet101.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet102.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet103.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet104.jpg" alt="">

<form action="" method="post"></form>

link:css

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Building Navbar

.navbar>ul>li*3>a[href=#]{Item $@-}

<div class="navbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

CSS

Emmet works surprisingly well with css as well.

f:l

float: left;

You can also use any options n/r/l

pos:a

position: absolute;

Also use any options, pos:a/r/f

d:n/b/f/i/ib

d:ib

display: inline-block;

You can use m for margin and p for padding followed by direction

mr -> margin-right

pr -> padding-right

@f will result in

@font-face {
  font-family:;
  src:url();
}
