Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 33,900 PointsHi Ted,
that's actually a plugin which you may for some (for me unknown) reason have automatically installed. There is lots of plugins for atom which make your life easier - this is one of them.
I don't use this actually so when I use atom this does not happen automatically.
In workspace there is just a couple of things which you find in atom. Most things you can use in atom are not included in workspace. One of the reasons I would think this is actually better is that when learning to write code it is better if you actually have to write it yourself... Once you are really fluent then it makes sense to use a lot of autocompletion.
Makes sense?
Happy coding,
Nils

Courses Plus Student 5,834 PointsI am merely guessing but it sounds likes it assumes you want to assign a class to anything within that article tag. So that you could then link it to your CSS styles page and use CSS to manipulate any article tag that shares the same class="". Which might be a creature comfort for someone dealing with lots of CSS styling.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 33,900 PointsHello again,
I actually just noticed that in atom it really automatically adds the class attribute when you type "article" and hit tab. It does not do so with other elements (there you need a plugin) so I assumed there was a plugin working in your version of atom... ;-)
I don't really know exactly why atom is adding the class attribute with the <article> tag and not with for example <h1> or <p> tag.
Maybe someone else knows?
