This is incorrect. The snippets are not designed/triggered by a leading caret. The HTML parsers written in Sublime natively parse out the carets when reading snippets

Is this proposed because of something you experienced?

@izaakhaliq

Yup it was definitely what I experienced. Not sure what went wrong with my packages there. Thanks anyway for the info @Stephn-R

In an html file, when I type md- nothing happens. When I type <md- I get the snippets menu showing md- at the top, which is fine. Now, when I click 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>

Ah so this never happened before. Perhaps there was a bug introduced with
the latest release of Sublime

Ok, confirmed. I will be pushing up a change shortly

Actually it happened with me since I started this snippet library. I'm gonna merge both pull requests and push a new version somewhere this week.

Thanks @devotis 🍻
