Every directive is missing a less than sign at the beginning

Please have a look at this gif

Oh how hilariousssssssss. Because we just had this other issue before where there was one too many carets.

Yes. Before this commit https://github.com/devotis/sublime-angular-material-snippets/commit/2d2a476ef9425bef600c64b183df037267683ed7

When in an html file, when I typed md- nothing happens. When I typed <md- I got the snippets menu showing md- at the top, which is fine. When I clicked it, I end up with this snippet. And notice the double caret in the beginning.

<<md-tab label="" disabled md-on-select="" md-on-deselect="">...</md-tab>

So the commit by @Stephn-R was to fix that, but apprently that makes for @appie18 to have no leading caret at all.

Is there some ST setting that I and @appie18 have different? I have no clue at this point. But I do think that there are tons of sublime snippets libraries out there that must have solved this problem. Is anybody acquainted with a collaborator of one of those sublime snippets libraries that may be willing to help us out?

Here is another popular project using HTML type snippets. Perhaps we might see something there:

Any updates on this issue?

You're welcome to implement a fix. I don't have time to fixt it myself and what I tried before myself didn't work out for others
