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?

    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.

    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.
