Completion of HTML tags

Cyrille Piatecki

Since I have changed my computer I do not remember how to have the closure of html tags that is if I typeset <P …> Notepad++ adds </p>.

It is here

@Ekopalypse I have done it but nothing appends.

What exactly did you do?
Since I don’t do html programming, it could be possible
that you can use additional plugins, but I have no experience with that.
Maybe someone else who knows html programming can step in and make suggestions.

@Cyrille-Piatecki ,

There are two requirements for the HTML/XML auto-insert/autocomplete to work:

It must be turned on. In the dialog that @Ekopalypse showed, it is turned off. In English, you have to enable ☑ html/xml close tag. In the localization @Ekopalypse showed, that would be Balise fermante (htm (which gets cut off because the localization is longer than the dialog has room for – I presume the localization string is actually meant to be Balise fermante (html/xml).
The document must be set as HTML or XML using the Language menu

See this animation for how those settings work together.

@PeterJones thanks

@Cyrille-Piatecki I just have discovered that under H there is only Haskell language nothing about html.

My first reaction was “pics or it didn’t happen” ;-)

As you saw in my animation, there is definitely an HTML entry there. If there isn’t in yours, something you have done has eliminated/hidden that entry. You can prove this to yourself by downloading a fresh portable zipfile from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ and verifying that by default, the Language menu has HTML.

Possible reasons I can think of for HTML not being listed:

Settings > Preferences > Language 🛈 has a Disabled Items section. Maybe at some point, you accidentally or intentionally moved HTML over to there – in which case, HTML wouldn’t show up in the Language menu
One or more of your config files were corrupted and/or intentionally edited to remove HTML (or you somehow started from a Notepad++ old enough to predate HTML as a Language entry… but I cannot imagine that there was a version like that.)
A plugin has taken over HTML display, and has hidden that Language-menu entry. I don’t know of any plugins that do this, but it might be possible. Showing us your ? menu’s Debug Info would tell us about your version and what plugins are installed

The first is the one I find most likely.

@PeterJones I take a long time to thank you for your help because I have a lot of problem with Jsxgraph … Nevertheless I have followed your advices and it seems to work correctly.
