Trying to sequence numbers for multiple lines in Emmet wrap abbreviation for Sublime - sublimetext

Question

New to the coding game, and familiarizing myself with Sublime Text and its plugins on Windows10.
After much searching, I finally figured out that v 3 and 4 do not offer the inherent ctrl+shift+g macro to wrap with abbreviation, so I manually binded those keys to that command:
{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+g"], "command": "emmet_wrap_with_abbreviation"},
The problem now is I can't get $$ for multiple lines to sequence, i.e. 01-07. It instead outputs 01-01.
For example:
Typed Monday-Sunday on separate lines. Shif+right-click highlight days to tag and wrap individual lines. ctrl+shift+g to bring up emmet wrap abbreviation command line.
In line typed li.day-$$>span
Output:
<li class="day-01"><span>Monday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Tuesday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Wednesday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Thursday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Friday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Saturday</span></li>
<li class="day-01"><span>Sunday</span></li>
But should have been:
<li class="day-01"><span>Monday</span></li>
<li class="day-02"><span>Tuesday</span></li>
<li class="day-03"><span>Wednesday</span></li>
<li class="day-04"><span>Thursday</span></li>
<li class="day-05"><span>Friday</span></li>
<li class="day-06"><span>Saturday</span></li>
<li class="day-07"><span>Sunday</span></li>
as it was in a tutorial I was watching. Although, the tutorial was from 2014, so it would have been an older version of Sublime as well as Emmet, if that matters. Additionally, since the binded keys performed the function of bringing up the wrap abbreviation command line, I suspect a function in the line itself, but I'm not sure what or why.

Answer 1

It looks like you’ve used multiple cursors to select each line individually then wrapped it with abbreviation. Instead, you should select text you want to wrap as a single selection.
Also, when wrapping multiline text, you should mark repeated element with *. In your case, abbreviation should look like this: li.day-$$*>span
