Is there any way to auto insert tag end in html/php

rowan harley

Is there any way to auto-create the end tag (e.g. Auto-Create the </html> tag when I type <html>) in php/html like a plugin or a setting

Hello rowan-harley,

this can be achieved by switching between php and html language.
ALT+L+H+H+ENTER -> html
ALT+L+P+P+P+ENTER -> php
(assuming you did not modify your language menu)

Hello dail,

should this work if a language like php is selected. If so,
than there is a problem, it doesn’t work on my side.

Hmm…I’m actually not sure…I’ve only ever used it for XML.

Claudia Frank

And there is another one … if I use it and use html or xml language
I get two closing tags. <xml></xml></xml>
When using php I don’t get any closing tag.

It is probably because you have XML Tools installed to autoclose tags. I’ve never used XML Tools but it may be a better option than the built-in autocomplete for tags

@dail,
shame on me - I didn’t do what I always propose to others.
You’re right, when running with noPlugin switch it works but still
only when using html or xml language.

In addition I need to see if xml tools has a bug, because I didn’t use the auto close tag feature
or maybe another plugin intersected.

ok, found TextFX Settings has also a autoclose feature which was, in my case, enabled.
So, XML Tools has been discharged.

Cheers

Ok, thanks! I’ll just have to keep switching over from php to html when doing the tags
