vim-closetag VS emmet-vim

I gave this plugin a shot, but ended up going back to https://github.com/alvan/vim-closetag

Community is so new, you might find that the lua equivalent of whatever vim plugin you already use is poorly maintained or has too many bugs by virtue of it being new. Of course neovim accepts vim plugins but the whole elevator pitch of neovim is "everything lua". One example of this in my case is something as simple as a close-tag for html/xml. Back when I used vim I use, and continue to use this repo to close html tags. Built by vim user for vim users. I couldn't get my lua equivalent nvim-ts-autotag to work for jsx. Perhaps that is a me issue (probably is) but just goes to show that sometimes you have to wrestle to acquire things you already have in your vim setup.

If you're talking about this plugin, you don't need to be in visual mode, just type your abbreviation and press ctrl-y, like this:

Does anyone have a link to their repository with emmet(https://github.com/mattn/emmet-vim) manually installed?

I installed emmet using packer.nvim. The plugin seemed to be installed correctly without any errors.

I tried emmet-vim, but it's only working in html files

It sounds like vim-emmet would be right up your alley. If you don't use a Vim package manager, install it by git cloneing it into a folder named ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ on Unix/macOS or $HOME\vimfiles\pack\plugins\start on Windows (create it beforehand if it doesn't exist), then after you've :EmmetInstalled it into your buffer, you can use the , mapping after the ! to write the Emmet expansion for the HTML boilerplate; Emmet expansion is a very useful but quite complex feature and you can read more on it in [https://docs.emmet.io/](Emmet's documentation).
