Hi Chris,

The templates in the HTML editor work a little differently. Instead of typing out the template name and then pressing ctrl+spacebar, the templates will show up in your content assist list.

So to use a template, you would first press Ctrl+Space, and then filter the list down by typing out the template name. For example, if you press Ctrl+Space and then type "tab", you'll see two entries. One is the actual <table> element and the other is a template table.
