Once in a while I need to create simple HTML pages. This is the template I use:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>TODO</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TODO</h1>
</body>
</html>
and as a sublime snippet:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>${1:Title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>${2:Header}</h1>
${3:Content}
</body>
</html>
]]></content>
<tabTrigger>html5</tabTrigger>
<!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
<!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>
