I'm trying to create an HTML snippet in Atom that creates an HTML page template when I type "html" + tab key.

Youtube tutorial I used: "2.1 Bonus: Creating HTML Snippets with Atom | Zero To 100 Web Development" by David Shack

Posted below is my snippets.cson file. What am I doing wrong? Instead of posting the entire template (with all the html, head, title, and body tags) , the "html" + tab key only posts the opening and closing html tags in my html file.

'.text.html.basic':
  'HTML5':
    'prefix': 'html'
    'body': """
       <!DOCTYPE html>
       <html>
          <head>
             <title></title>
          </head>
          <body>
          </body>
       </html>
    """

This is what I want to get with the "html" + tab key shortcut:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Instead, I'm getting this:

<html></html>

Make sure the extension of the file is .html

The shorthand is "!" + tab without quotes.
