How to auto indent nested HTML tags in VS Code
I'm trying out VS Code and I used Emmet to create a new HTML element with a class. I need to create another nested (child) HTML element inside the original element, but by default, VS Code will not indent for the new element, when you hit enter inside the original element tags. Like if you have <div class="main"></div> and you hit enter in between the div tags, you'll get -
<div class="main">
</div>
And then you need to manually go one line up, add tabs and indent for the new HTML element.
In Webstorm, hitting enter in between the parent tags automatically indents for the new child element.
Here are two GIFs which show what I mean.

Is there an extension or some other trick that achieves this feature in VS Code?
