emmet is not working properly

[henrix343]

http://docs.emmet.io/cheat-sheet/

ul>li.item$*5 should give me 5 li classes in an ul:

but instead it give me:

display: block;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
list-style: ;

why it's not working? And how to fix it? win7/64bit, Notepad++ 6.8.8 with latest emmet and python script, also tried with PythonScript_1.0.8.0 - to no avail. Also emmet is working really slowwwww with notepad.
