Generate a snippet from aspx page layout sharepoint 2013

Question

I am working on a site in sharepoint 2013 and want to generate webpart snippets from some content query webparts from several page layouts. I went to the design manager in hopes of being able to do this, however there are no page layouts listed. It appears all of the page layouts I want to use were created as .aspx and don't have corresponding html files. Is it possible to use these page layouts in design manager to create snippets?

Answer 1

To get the snippets you must have the design file (HTML file) and these snippets should be copied to only .html files but not .aspx files.

You can create a page layout from the Deisgn Manager -> Edit Page Layouts -> Create a page layout option. This comes with design file.
