test file for Emmet script "Expand abbreviation" in Kate

SUMMARY

It looks like all the Emmet scripts are broken/not working, except the ones to increment/decrement numbers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached file "testEmmetKate"
2. Go on line 7, at the end of the abbreviation, and try to run the menu item Tools->Scrpts->Emmet->Expand abbreviation

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT

The abbreviation ul#nav>li.item$*4>a{Item $} should expand to:

    <ul id="nav">
    	<li class="item1"><a href="">Item 1</a></li>
    	<li class="item2"><a href="">Item 2</a></li>
    	<li class="item3"><a href="">Item 3</a></li>
    	<li class="item4"><a href="">Item 4</a></li>
    </ul>

This is exactly the base example from Emmet documentation at https://docs.emmet.io/

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I tested all the scripts from the Emmet list, and only those to increment/decrement numbers work as expected.


SIDE NOTE:

Is there any way to use shortcuts to activate those scripts? If yes I couldn't find it, if no that would be very much needed for users who rely on those scripts for productivity.
