Not sure what's going on here, I removed and re-installed VSCode just to be sure. Emmet does not seem to be working:

  1. Open HTML file with the contents:
<html>
<body>
</body>
</html>

(editor shows HTML in bottom right info-bar)

  1. Between the body tags, I enter:
    div>ul>li*5
  2. Hit enter and nothing happens, just go to new line. In fact, no auto HTML formatting is happening, making editing HTML quite cumbersome.

I saw a previous issue about this (#958), where extensions were discussed. I've never installed an extension and don't even know how to view whether I have extensions installed or not, which is another reason I deleted, re-downloaded, and installed Visual Studio Code from scratch just to be sure.

And just in case someone would ask, my user preferences are minimal:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    // Controls the rendering size of tabs in characters. Accepted values: "auto", 2, 4, 6, etc. If set to "auto", the value will be guessed when a file is opened.
    "editor.tabSize": 2,

    // Controls if the editor will insert spaces for tabs. Accepted values:  "auto", true, false. If set to "auto", the value will be guessed when a file is opened.
    "editor.insertSpaces": true
}

@silverbucket what version of VS Code are you using (see the About Box), are you on the insider or the stable channel?

@egamma the OS X VSCode version is 0.10.9 I believe I'm on the stable channel, as it's a fresh install from the main site.

Just to test it out, I tried downloading VSCode on my Windows machine. I get the exact same behavior as described above. Version is 0.10.8

@silverbucket just did a fresh install of 0.10.9 and emmet is expanded.

But now I read your description again:

Hit enter and nothing happens

The emmet expansion key is TAB and not ENTER.

Also if TAB doesn't work can you execute the 'Emmet: Expand Abbreviation' from the command palette.
