"There has to be a better of doing this than popping open my text editor and manually writing all these tags".
This isn't a silver bullet, but perhaps the open-source tool, Emmet [0], can help remove some/much of the drudgery. There's a little demo on its docs page[1] and here's how it's described there:
Emmet takes the snippets idea to a whole new level: you can type CSS-like expressions that can be dynamically parsed, and produce output depending on what you type in the abbreviation. Emmet is developed and optimised for web-developers whose workflow depends on HTML/XML and CSS, but can be used with programming languages too.
There are also a bunch of YouTube videos about it.[2]
(It even has a Wikipedia page[3]).

- awestbro 6y agoThanks for the emmet mention! I use emmet a lot and it is very helpful to the normal workflow. The tool I have in my head is more visual. Almost a bridge between what you see in something like Wordpress theme editors, and emmet.
