Emmet XHTML broken

[Avol-V]

• VSCode Version: 1.8.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set xhtml syntax:

   	"emmet.syntaxProfiles": {
   		"html": "xhtml"
   	},

2. Write br and press Tab.

Result is:

<br></br>

Should be:

<br />

Same for other tags.

Also didn't work shorthands like input:radio, result is:

<input:radio></input:radio>

@Avol-V For the time being, please use the below

"emmet.syntaxProfiles": {
        "html": {
              "self_closing_tag": "xhtml"
         }
}

@mrmlnc @egamma As of now the "emmet.syntaxProfiles" configuration in VS Code is being used for 2 purposes

• To define how generated HTML content should look like as described in the docs for sytax-profiles in emmet. This is done by passing the profiles to emmet via emmet.loadProfiles()
• To map any file extension to one of the supported modes in emmet (Feature Request: Enable emmet for other file extensions. #9500). This is done by passing the mapped syntax to emmet via getSyntax()

"xhtml" is one of the predefined profiles, as in you can use it to say "I want everything just like html, but also want self closing tags".

When "xhtml" is passed as a syntax to emmet, you see the behavior that is described by @Avol-V.
None of the html abbreviations get expanded correctly.

Emmet users know "xhtml" as just a profile that gives everything that html gives + self closing tags.

Therefore, I propose the changes in #18625

This is now fixed and the fix is in the insiders build
