Snippets with indentation in Visual Studio Code

The indentation needs to be inside of the strings, not outside (where it's meaningless), so:

"  <meta charset='UTF-8'>",

instead of:

  "<meta charset='UTF-8'>",

This works as intended:

"HTML structure": {
    "prefix": "html",
    "body": [
        "<!DOCTYPE html>",
        "<html lang='fr'>",
        "<head>",
        "  <meta charset='UTF-8'>",
        "  <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0'>",
        "  <meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='ie=edge'>",
        "  <title>$1</title>",
        "</head>",
        "<body>",
        "  $2",
        "</body>",
        "</html>"
    ],
    "description": "Base template for html file"
}

I think the more appropriate way is to use \t instead of space to maintain document indentation even.

"\t<meta charset='UTF-8'>",
