Chapter 14: Using Popular Extensions
In Chapter 13, Working with Extensions in Visual Studio, we learned how to extend utilities and functionalities by installing extensions published by the Visual Studio community and third-party vendors. We can install these extensions using the extension manager in Visual Studio and then restart Visual Studio to see the changes in the user interface.
In this chapter, we will analyze some free and useful extensions to increase productivity and improve our experience of using Visual Studio. We will install and review the extensions in the following sections:
- Adding HTML Snippet Pack
- Cleaning up code with CodeMaid
- Compiling web libraries with Web Compiler
- Identifying white space with Indent Guides
We will start with HTML Snippet Pack, an extension that helps us include some additional code snippets in Visual Studio when coding HTML files.
