Why wont this code work? am i supposed to press something after i enter it or what?

Question

so i saw on the internet that this code ul>(li>a)*5 is a shorter version of doing this
<ul>
<li a href=""></li>
<li a href=""></li>
<li a href=""></li>
<li a href=""></li>
<li a href=""></li>
</ul>

think its called a nested element. but when i type ul>(li>a)*5 it doesn't do anything.

Answer 1

It's a shortcut that works in Visual Studio Code or any IDE that supports Emmet http://emmet.io/
