Hello, emacs fellas.
I’m trying to set up emacs for webdev and I cannot get good completions for html and css. I have installed lsp-mode and html-ls along with css-ls, but completions are still rather poor compared to VSCode.

Is there a way to get better autocomplete?

    if you have configured lsp for js html and css it should handle running 3 language servers simultaneously for auto completion. like if you open an html file that includes css and J’s it would run js and css LS

    I mean, once you have Copilot installed you wouldn’t need auto-complete anyway. It’s that good. I only have LSP for live error checking and navigation (xref) now.

    What are you missing? VSCode may include Emmet by default, for example, but in Emacs you would have to install and configure either a minor mode or a language server.

    But I’m not using any language servers for webdev. I found the built-in completion-at-point perfectly adequate in CSS-mode. For HTML, I use nxml-mode with html5-schema-0.1. Just typing

      I discovered that yes, VSCode has Emmet by default, lsp-mode in emacs has support for emmet-ls but it does not seem to work that much at all.
