HTML Entities Autocomplete

[cakebake]

Should this package automatically suggest HTML Entities like  , &, ü, ..., or would that be the task of other packages?

Yeah, this seems like a reasonable addition to this package. PRs welcome :)

Ok, I just have to look at the structure for the autocomplete 👍

Maybe add those as snippet for the HTML language ?

Hi. I'm a newbie and would like to fix my first open source bug. Would someone please help me go about fixing this bug?

[Aerijo]

@ScareCROW21 The completions are defined in the file completions.json. You can look at lib/provider.coffee to see how these completions are parsed and turned into suggestions.

As this package is like an 'add-on' for autocomple-plus I also suggest reading about the provider API to familiarise yourself with how this all works.

Hi, is this issue still open? I'd love to write a fix if it is :)

Hi, I'd like to try to implement this one as my first contribution. Is this one still beginner-friendly? Thank you!

Does it matter where these entities are inserted in the completions.json file?

@Fwalsh96 Yes. If they are placed in the tag section, they will be autocompleted as tags. If they are in the attribute section, they will be autocompleted as attributes. I think you would need to add another section and add to the js code to complete them correctly
